The Chaparral men’s basketball team saw their dreams of playing in the Nationals get crushed Saturday as they lost to Joliet in the second round of the Region IV Tournament.

They had momentum going in their favor after defeating Harper 79-69 last Wednesday night.

The Chaps were looking to be the Cinderella team of the North Central Community College Conference this season by pulling off the upset against the number-one ranked Wolves.

However, this was not the case as Joliet won the game 57-49.

This was the third time the Chaps faced off against Joliet Junior College this year having already lost the first two games.

With this loss, the Chaps finish the season with a record of 13-19.
