|
delivering a complete game to garner the most valuable player |

inning and went on to win 6-1, as Caleb Colley, Kolton Heim, Jaylan |
|
Holland, and Ty Baker each had multiple hits during the game; and |

|
Savala, Gunner Baker, Collin Gray, Justin McMurtry, and Dalton |

WHEREAS, In capturing the first state baseball championship |
|
in school history, the talented student-athletes of the Carlisle |
|
Indians baseball team demonstrated remarkable determination and an |
|
unwavering commitment to excellence, and they are a source of |
|
tremendous pride to their school and to their many supporters in the |
|
local community; now, therefore, be it |
