(Washington, D.C.) - New Prairie’s state championship softball team set records this year. Now they're part of the Congressional Record.
On Thursday 2nd District Congressman Rudy Yakym took a minute from the House floor in Washington, D.C. to congratulate the team on winning the school’s first-ever team championship.
In June New Prairie defeated Tri-West for the Class 3A title. “The Cougars’ 4-2 win,” Yakym told members of Congress, “was especially meaningful because it marked New Prairie’s very first state title in any sport.”
Yakym also recognized head coach Derek Hicks and two of New Prairie’s leading players: pitcher Eva Geyer and power hitter Abby Robakowski , who broke the state’s home run record.
