Jackson Polk, a Senior at North Platte High School officially committed to Southeast Community College yesterday night continuing his baseball career at the collegiate level. Polk helped lead the FNBO Nationals to one of its best seasons this year, where the squad ended with a 31-20 record before falling shy of a state title opportunity losing to 5 Points Bank Hastings 8-3 in the Lower Bracket matchup. This last season for the Nationals Polk played predominantly at Shortstop before taking the mound as a trusted right-handed pitcher when called upon by Head Coach Ricky Holm.

"I know the Head Coach at Southeast and know that this is one of the best places for him to continue his Baseball career going forward." Coach Holm said, "They are going to give him the ability to hit and pitch right away which is important to him."
