Baldwin, Kansas – Kansas City Kansas Community College men’s basketball player Bradley Lightbourne has been named the KJCCC Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, the conference office announced this week.

Lightbourne was selected as the Player of the Week by a committee of sports information directors around the conference.
