The Program:
The MVCC Hawks compete in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), Region III, Division III. The Hawks are also a member of the tough Mountain Valley Conference. The conference consists of two divisions and a total of ten teams. The team plays a 28 game regular season schedule against regional and conference opponents. There is post season play as well on both the regional and national levels. MVCC has had many athletes over the years be recruited by four-year schools with some earning scholarships. The team plays an aggressive man to man defense and an up-tempo offense. The Hawks have proven themselves to be one of the stingiest defenses in the country over the past five years holding their opponents under 60 points per game.
