LaKaiya B. Butcher Named JCC Athlete of the Week for the Week Ending November 17, 2024

Sophomore guard, LaKaiya B. Butcher, of the Jefferson Community College (JCC) women’s basketball team was named JCC athlete of the week for the week ending November 17, 2024.  

LaKaiya, a 2023 graduate of Massaponax High School, Fredericksburg, VA, is majoring in Individual Studies at Jefferson.  This past week, Butcher dominated on the court, averaging 25.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game in victories over Genesee Community College and North Country Community College.  In her game against the Lady Saints, she had a triple double with 21 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists. 

Coach Jeff Wiley says, “LaKaiya’s the definition of a leader—on and off the court. This week, she not only delivered back-to-back great performances with a triple-double and a 30-point, 14-rebound game, but also sets the standard for excellence in games and practices.  She leads by example and her work ethic motivates her teammates to give it their all.”
