Lets go Jono! NJCAA Esports NBA 2K

I officiated 10 basketball games this past weekend and I’m here to still tell you: 1. “Over the back” is not a call. 2. “Call it both ways” is not going to help. 3. You still cannot call timeout during live play when you don’t have the basketball.

Jonathan Edmonson shared his NJCAA Esports National Championship trophy reveal with special guests from our local Jack and Jill of America, Inc.. Jono Edmonson organized the event, talked about school, sports, being a college student, and played video games with some future hawks! Heartland Community College

Hawks volunteered at the Illinois High School Association #IHSA Esports Sectional helping setup hardware, officiate games, check-in, stream, and coach local teams. They also had a student ran recruitment table to find future NJCAA Esports athletes! Heartland Community College Esports has volunteered over 300hrs+.
