Millennials Moving to Bee County
CBC Baseball Breaking More Records The CBC Baseball team, coached by Coach Brian Bauele, is in new territory as they continue to break college records. Throughout the 2017-2018 season, the team won 35 games, creating a new record for wins in a single season. While our students were on spring break, the baseball team won their 18th straight game. They also became the first CBC team to be nationally ranked. Throughout the season, 4 NJCAA Division III National Player of the Week Awards were awarded
to the team including two National Pitcher of the Week and two National Player of the Week. Michael Dinsdale and Marco Becerril won National Pitcher of the Week in the month of February, while first baseman/pitcher Ruben Sepulveda and outfielder Kyler Bumstead won National Player of the Week awards. Pictured below are the five student-athletes selected to represent CBC at the Texas-Nex Mexico Junior College All-Star Game.
In a recent story published in USA Today, Bee County is ranked 13th on a list of national hotspots for millennials. The number of young adults who arrived last year was over 4% of the population. But why are the millennials moving here? The sense of community among millennials aligns with the values commonly found in small towns including Skidmore, Pettus, Pawnee, and Beeville. As Bee County continues to grow, so will Coastal Bend College.
