The Northeast Texas Community College Eagles Baseball team is selling old jerseys for $50. They have white, grey and navy versions in limited quantities. This is a great gift for a baseball fan or former Eagle!  First come first serve. Email Andy Morgan at amorgan@ntcc.edu if interested in purchasing one. 

A freshman from Pittsburg is the winner of the Dr. Alexander Villalobos Award.  This $50 prize goes to a top essay in the non-honors division of NTCC concerning the history of health and medicine. Guerra’s essay was entitled “The Death of Death: The Revolution in Hygiene in the early Nineteenth Century.”
