This includes all spring sports programs sponsored by Northeast Mississippi Community College, which includes baseball, softball and men’s golf.
Northeast’s baseball team recently concluded the non-conference portion of its 2020 schedule with a 16-2 record and No. 9 ranking by the National Junior College Athletic Association.
Northeast softball is 10-3 overall and 1-1 in MACJC play while the golf team is No. 15 in the latest Golfstat rankings for NJCAA Division II members after competing in the Coastal Alabama Invitational last month.
