A couple of months from now, Dickson County’s Jack Sensing and Creek Wood’s Zeke Lecomte will face each other on the diamond.

After that happens, however, they’ll be teammates.

The two standout players for their respective ball clubs signed with Vol State Community College Wednesday afternoon. They’ll join Creek Wood’s Chase Haley next fall with the Pioneers, who signed a couple of weeks ago.

“It makes your heart smile when you’ve got guys like Chase and Zeke that work as hard as they work. They’re so deserving of this, because they’ve put everything they’ve had into this for so many years. There’s not really a lot of words you can say. It makes you happy and feel good,” said Creek Wood baseball coach Chris Clapper.

“I’m very excited for Jack and his family,” said Dickson County coach Rodney Parker.

“He gets to chase the dream of advancing his baseball career. He’s a hard-working student, a good person and a good ball player. You put all of those together, and I think Vol State is going to get a good package.”

Both players committed to the Pioneers a couple of days apart. Lecomte announced his intentions on Twitter Nov. 22, while Sensing also announced it on Twitter four days prior.

”It’s a great school and a great campus. I know that I can continue my education there. I know coach (Ryan) Hunt will help me have a good future, and possibly move up in the baseball world. I just think it’s the best place for me,” said Lecomte.

Sensing was familiar with the campus after playing there last summer, and really bought into what the Pioneers were doing as a program.

“I played there last summer, and coach Hunt has a really promising program. I’m excited to play for him.”

The two, along with Haley, discussed amongst each other about playing with the Pioneers and how much they liked their experiences visiting there.

“I’ve talked to both those guys, and some others I’ve met through baseball,” said Lecomte.

“They all said it’s a great school, and I believe them. I saw it for myself, and am really excited.”

Sensing echoed those statements, and said he’s excited about the possibility of playing together.

”We talked about living together, and working out together. It’s exciting to talk about our futures.”
