Game 1 Recap:
NTCC Eagle Softball pulled off a big-time upset on Saturday, taking down the heavily favored Tyler Junior College Apaches, 9-1, behind a dominant performance from Kiersten Fincannon. Fincannon delivered at the plate and in the circle, driving in four runs—including a momentum-shifting grand slam in the fifth—and shutting down the Apaches’ offense over five innings.
Dr. Chris T. McAllister, Biology, and three NTCC Biology 2389 students, Gracie Gray, Isabel Tresidder, and Stephanie Hernandez traveled to Black Rock, Arkansas, March 14-18, 2025, and conducted research on big river fish parasites from the Black River. They discovered what will eventually be described as new species of myxosporeans from several fishes and were also mentored by a renown (retired) parasitologist, Dr. Donald Cloutman, from Kansas. These students will get their first scientific publications from this event and will be very helpful in furthering their career goals.
The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received a donation of $10,000 from Texas Heritage National Bank (THNB). The funds will be used to endow the Sid Greer Memorial Honors Scholarship at NTCC. Pictured, John Bryan (left) presents the check to Dr. Jon McCullough, NTCC Executive Vice President for Advancement, on behalf of THNB. Greer, who passed away in December 2024, served on the NTCC Board of Trustees faithfully for 23 years. During that time he served as Board Secretary for 12 years.

Dr. Dominique Spigner’s journey into social work was unexpected—it found her. During a difficult day at Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC), she noticed a sign asking, “Do you like helping people?” Each question resonated with her, leading her to enroll in NTCC’s social work program. That moment changed her life forever.
