JUNE 2024 · IHSAA Class 3A final, Victory Field, Indianapolis — New Prairie 7, Brebeuf Jesuit 2
The school's second championship took thirteen months to follow its first: New Prairie's baseball team defeated Brebeuf Jesuit 7–2 in the Class 3A state championship game at Victory Field. The head coach was Mark Schellinger — the Congressional Record of 11 July 2024 (Vol. 170, No. 115), congratulating the team, names him in the office — and the names the record carries from the final are the pitcher Tyson Greenwood and Reed Robinson, whose two-run single is the game's remembered hit. The program's tournament course since is a streak the paper of record counts precisely: four straight Class 3A sectional titles through 1 June 2026, when the South Bend Tribune reported the Cougars' 12–2, five-inning sectional-final defeat of Culver Academies — the program's seventh straight appearance in a sectional final, by the paper's count of 30 May 2026. Baseball is, as the record stands in November 2026, the school's most decorated tournament program of the decade: one state title, four consecutive sectional titles, and no finals loss in the sources read.
