The photo shows an indoor basketball game in progress. A player wearing a white jersey with blue and gold accents and the number 10 is in the act of shooting the basketball, which is mid-air above the player’s hands. The jersey has the word “Cavaliers” printed across the chest. In the foreground, another player with visible tattoos on the arms and wearing a dark-colored uniform is extending an arm upward, likely attempting to defend the shot. The court features a blue sideline with white lettering, and the seating area in the background includes several spectators sitting on blue bleachers. There is also a wheelchair visible near the left side of the image, and the overall setting appears to be a college or high school gymnasium. The lighting is bright, typical of an indoor sports venue.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – For the fourth time this season, Johnson County Community College guard Layla Scott has been named the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Division II Women's Basketball Player of the Week, earning the honor for week nine. She also was selected in week two, four and eight.

Scott moved closer to the program's all-time three-point record after knocking down six 3-pointers and finishing with a season-high 28 points as the No. 1-ranked Cavaliers cruised to a 101-35 victory at Metropolitan Community College last Saturday afternoon. She added four rebounds, four steals and two assists, and her 28-point performance ranks as the second-highest scoring output of her career.

On Sunday, Scott led JCCC with 19 points in an 86-35 win over Graceland JV. She connected on 5-of-8 attempts from beyond the arc, increasing her career total to 185, just four from setting a new program record.

At the halfway point of the season, Scott leads the conference in scoring (18.2), in made 3-point baskets (70) and 3-point field accuracy (43.5).  She also leads all NJCAA D-II players in 3-point baskets.
