A quick start and monstrous March has led the Northeast baseball team  to a number nine ranking in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division II rankings that were released on Wednesday, April 2.
Northeast (21-11, 4-2 in the North Division) ran out to a 16-4 record during March and stood at 21-9 when the first poll was released by the national organization.
"Rankings are fun," said Kent Farris, "and we're certainly proud that somebody thinks we're worthy of ninth. But we're not going to have any problem staying grounded because we just lost our first two division games and we're focused on bouncing back soon."
Northeast dropped its first two games of April on Tuesday, April 1, to division rival Itawamba CC to slip to a record of 21-11, 4-2.
