Bowie High School right-handed pitcher Chandler Dean made it official on Tuesday, signing with Northeast Texas Community College in Mt. Pleasant.
The reigning District 3A-9 most valuable player helped the Jackrabbits win both district and bi-district titles last season, and a 26-4 overall record.
“He understands how to pitch,” said NTCC assistant baseball coach/recruiting coordinator Austin Knight. “He has all the physical tools, so it was a no-brainer (to recruit Dean). We are super excited to have him.”
NTCC plays in competitive National Junior College Athletic Association Region XIV, in Division I East with Navarro, Bossier Parish, Panola, Paris and Angelina.
Coincidentally, Navarro – one of NTCC’s main rivals – also was looking at Dean, and he took an official visit there as well.
But, in the end, Dean chose to play for the Josh Stewart-led Eagles. NTCC has an enrollment of nearly 3,000 students, with 300 or so living on campus, Knight reported.
The Eagles are coming off a season in which they went 30-21, and won two games at the postseason regional tournament. They lost to San Jacinto, who eventually represented the region at the College World Series. Read more in the Jan. 23 Bowie News.

Bellevue, in its first volleyball playoff game in school history, gave it a solid shot Saturday against Crowell but a powerful front court enabled the Lady ‘Cats to move on in the Class A playoffs with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-18) win over the Lady Eagles.

Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey was proud of her squad’s effort.

“We played how I expected for a team to play in their first ever playoff game,” Hickey said following the match at Iowa Park High. “Definitely some areas were noticed that need some work, but lots of room for growth and to build.”

In the playoffs, being consistent is even more important than the regular season.

Bowie’s consistency ebbed and flowed Oct. 30 in its bi-district volleyball matchup with Peaster. The Lady ‘Hounds were able to capitalize on that and wound up knocking the Lady Rabbits out of the postseason with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-11, 25-19) win at Graham High School.

Bowie Coach Ashley Sanders said her squad never completely got on track.

“When you get to this level, into the postseason, you have to find the rhythm and that consistency and Peaster definitely had that,” Sanders said. “We struggled to find our consistency. We had our moments where we tied together some really good plays.”
