    Here come the Braves

    Our student-athletes and coaches bring their passion and teamwork to every game. Not an athlete? We love our BHC fans. Together, we can create a college experience that’s full of school spirit on and off the field.

    Black Hawk College belongs to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 4. The region includes men’s and women’s sports at 28 northern Illinois two-year colleges and three southern Wisconsin two-year colleges.
