Northeast Texas Community College Baseball returned home on Saturday after a series of weather-related cancellations to take on the Panola Ponies in a conference matchup. While the weather was great, the day would not go the Eagles way as Panola defeated NTCC 6-2 in game one and 9-3 in game two to get the series sweep.

Would NTCC even do a film? At a dinner last 23 July on the terrace of Nardello’s restaurant, ten members of the local NTCC Webb Chapter, which is largely coterminous with Honors Northeast, met to discuss this and other questions. It was hot, and the pandemic was peaking. Most members were in shorts.  At a crucial moment, Brian Ramirez, an incoming NTCC freshman from Mount Pleasant, raised his cell phone to display his Snapchat App. In the blink of an eye, every student was connected.  Ramirez went on from this quick network fix to become the primary advocate of actual filming. Soon he was the film’s unit production director, and the film’s producer. This past 6 February during the State Webb presentation on zoom led by the Education Director of the Texas State Historical Association, Lisa Berg, Ramirez received a Webb Award for representing the freshman-sophomore Chapter that had performed the most significant activity in Texas history. The NTCC Webb chapter has also won this award in 2013, 2017, and in 2019 for its Barbara Conrad film.

Rescheduled for April 6! The NTCC Office of Student Activities, Student Government Association, the Eagles Rodeo Team and the Baptist Student Ministry will host the annual college bonfire on Tuesday, March 2. The event will be from 6:30-9:30 p.m. in the BSM area of campus. All students are invited to attend for free pizza, music and fun.
