My name is Andy Morgan, and I am Head Baseball Coach at Northeast Texas Community College. We are extremely excited about this group of young men we have on campus this year. Our goal is to help develop our student-athletes in four main areas. We are going to help develop them into the best men that they can be, the best students they can be, the best baseball players they can be, and the best teammates they can be. We are going to accomplish these goals through hard work, selflessness, accountability, and commitment.

The fall semester and practice have started and things are going great. Along with a strong team on the field, it also takes a high level of support from alumni, fans, and the community to make a program successful. We recently began an online fundraising campaign to help support our team. (Click here to view fundraising page)
