JCCC rolls past Labette, advances to Region 6 title game

The image shows an indoor basketball game in progress. At the center of the scene, a player wearing a light gray jersey with dark side panels and the number 30 is in the act of taking a jump shot. The player’s shooting arm is fully extended upward, with the wrist flicked in a classic follow?through motion. Opposing players in dark jerseys with yellow trim are positioned in the foreground, with at least one defender raising an arm in an attempt to contest the shot. A referee wearing a gray-and-black uniform is visible on the right side of the image. In the background, the bleachers are mostly empty, and a scorer’s table area displays signage that includes the word “Cavaliers.” The lighting suggests a typical indoor gymnasium setting designed for collegiate or high?school basketball competition.
