Sophomore right-hander Noah Bourgeois has been tabbed the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference West Division Pitcher of the Week, as announced by the conference on Tuesday, March 18.

Bourgeois, a native of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, notched his second win of the season when he pitched three scoreless innings and allowed just one hit while striking out five of the ten batters he faced in Cloud County's 7-1 home win over Kansas Wesleyan JV on March 11. Bourgeois retired the Coyotes in order in the fourth and sixth innings.

Five days later, Bourgeois earned his third win of the year by striking out five and allowing no runs on one hit with one walk in four innings pitched to help the conference west division-leading T-Birds sweep their second conference series against Dodge City on March 16.

Bourgeois is the second Cloud County Community College pitcher to earn conference pitcher of the week recognition this year, joining sophomore right-hander Caden Marcum who was named Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference West Division Pitcher of the Week on February 18, 2025.

Cloud County is 19-5 overall and is out to an 8-0 start to begin conference play for the second consecutive season. This week, the T-Birds have entered the NJCAA Division I Baseball Rankings, checking in at No. 24. Cloud County is one of three Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference schools nationally ranked, and is the only west division team in the latest top 25 poll.

The T-Birds return to action Thursday, March 20 at Lawson-Biggs Field in Great Bend, Kansas to open a four-game Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference series against Barton Community College. Barton is currently in second place in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference West Division standings after a 7-1 start. Barton has a 12-4 overall record. First pitch is scheduled for 1 pm.
