HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Jason Brown was hired in December last year after the Pirates won only two games. Independence went 0-10 the year before and has struggled over the last three seasons with four total wins.

Independence has two wins this season and is hoping to win out for a winning season. Brown has never experienced a losing season in his first year at any school.

HCC dropped another tough game last week in Butler. The Blue Dragons have lost four games by a total of 14 points.

Independence enters Gowans Stadium Saturday for a noon kickoff.
