(Washington, D.C.) - New Prairie’s State Champion boys’ baseball team received a congressional shout-out.
Last month, New Prairie defeated Brebeuf Jesuit 7-2 down in Indianapolis to capture the school’s first baseball state championship.
On Thursday, from the House floor in Washington, D.C., 2nd District Congressman Rudy Yakym acknowledged their achievements.
Last year, Yakym did the same by honoring the New Prairie girls for winning their first state championship. “And apparently the boys didn’t want to be shown up by the girls,” Yakym quipped Thursday.
Yakym singled out stellar performances by starting pitcher Tyson Greenwood and “sophomore sensation” Reed Robinson, whose 43 RBIs were second most in all of Indiana.
Yakym congratulated Coach Mark Schellinger and all the Cougars for bringing another state title back to Indiana’s 2nd District.
