Baseball Lands Four on All-KJCCC West Teams

COLBY, Kan. - The Colby Trojans were recognized with four selections on the 2026 All-KJCCC West Baseball Teams released Thursday (May 14), highlighted by a pair of Second Team honorees and two Honorable Mention selections following a strong season in one of the toughest conferences in junior college baseball.

Leading the way for the Trojans was sophomore infielder Charlie Langford, who earned Second Team All-KJCCC West honors at second base after putting together one of the top offensive seasons in the conference. Langford finished the year batting .325 with a .609 slugging percentage while leading the team in doubles with 12 and ranking second on the squad with 14 home runs. He delivered several clutch performances throughout the season, including a two-home run outing against Otero College Rattlers where he went 3-for-4 with three RBI in a Trojan victory. In conference play against Barton Cougars, Langford finished 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI, while another standout performance came against Seward County Saints when he exploded for a 4-for-5 day with five RBI, two doubles, and a home run in a key series split. Langford closed the regular season on a tear, delivering a massive 4-for-6 performance with four RBI, two doubles, and a home run in a must-win finale for the Trojans.

Freshman outfielder Anthony Deblois also secured Second Team All-KJCCC West recognition after emerging as one of the most dynamic two-way freshmen in the league. Deblois finished second on the team with a .336 batting average and a .649 slugging percentage while adding 11 home runs and 32 RBI. His breakout performances began early in the season at Lamar Community College Runnin' Lopes where he went 3-for-3 with two doubles. Later in the year, he pieced together a three-game hitting streak that featured multiple multi-hit performances. One of his best all-around games came against Barton when he went 4-for-6 with four RBI. Against Otero, Deblois delivered one of the top offensive performances of the year, finishing 3-for-4 with five RBI and two home runs. In addition to his impact at the plate and in the outfield, Deblois also contributed on the mound late in the season as a valuable two-way player.

The Trojans also landed a pair of standout freshmen on the Honorable Mention All-KJCCC West team, beginning with first baseman Callum Thomson from Prince Edward Island. Thomson burst onto the scene early in the year and at one point led the team in batting average before finishing the season hitting .321 with a .600 slugging percentage. He totaled 12 home runs, 10 doubles, and 34 RBI while also serving as one of the top defensive first basemen in the conference. Thomson shined in a home series against nationally ranked Hutchinson Blue Dragons, driving in seven runs with a pair of home runs during the doubleheader. He also turned in a huge performance against Garden City Broncbusters by going 3-for-5 with two solo home runs, while another signature game came against Seward County when he finished 4-for-4 with three RBI and two home runs.

Rounding out the Trojan honorees was freshman outfielder Matthew Kesting from Frisco, who earned Honorable Mention honors after batting .351 with 11 home runs and 27 RBI during an impressive freshman campaign. Kesting showcased his power throughout conference play, including back-to-back home run performances in consecutive games against Butler Grizzlies. Against Seward County, he went 3-for-5 with four RBI and two home runs, while another standout showing came against Otero when he posted a perfect 3-for-3 performance with four RBI and a home run.

The four All-KJCCC West selections highlight the strong young core for the Trojans and the continued growth of the Colby Trojans baseball program heading into the future.
