Kilgore College Athletics

Kilgore College competes in the NJCAA, which offers serious competition for community college athletes with scholarships available. The Rangers field teams in just 4 varsity sports with 111 total athletes. That means only 3.5% of the 3,133 students compete at the varsity level. The athletic program awards $923,444 in scholarships annually. The Rangers are best known for their famous Rangerettes precision dance team, which has been a Texas institution since the 1940s. The Rangerettes perform at football games and compete nationally in dance competitions. While the athletic program is relatively small, the Rangerettes give Kilgore College a unique sports tradition that extends far beyond typical community college athletics. Most students focus on academics and transfer preparation rather than following sports teams.
