(Coffeyville CC) -- Coffeyville head men's basketball coach Jay Herkelman reached another milestone in his storied coaching career in front of the home crowd in Nellis Hall. Herkelman got his 622nd career win as the Coffeyville Red Ravens rolled past the Allen Count Red Devils 105-71 on January 19.

Herkelman's reached the milestone 622nd win in his 24th year of coaching. Each of those victories has been at Coffeyville Community College since his debut in the 1995-1996 season.

Herkelman took over a program that had fallen on hard times. The season prior to Herkelman's arrival in Coffeyville, the Ravens suffered through a 3-26 season. Two of those three wins came courtesy of forfeits, so on the court, the Ravens were really 1-28.

Herkelman recruited a new team his first season and the Ravens would go on to win the KJCCC title, finishing with a 26-7 overall record.

Since 1995, his Ravens have won 14 KJCCC titles, eight Region VI championships, and played in the NJCAA National Tournament nine times, including a national runner-up finish in 2002 and a third place finish in 2007.

Herkelman was already the all-time leader in coaching wins in the KJCCC. The January 19 win puts him at the top of NJCAA Region VI for all time wins, passing Highland and Brown Mackie coach Francis Flax,who held the previous record of 621 wins.
