New Prairie baseball, 2024

Tyson Greenwood. The senior starting pitcher won the final the way aces are supposed to: at Victory Field in Indianapolis he threw 6.0 innings against Brebeuf Jesuit — two runs, one earned, two walks, seven strikeouts — and left to a standing ovation with one batter on in the seventh, in the Cougars' 7–2 win. He was named the recipient of the L.V. Phillips Mental Attitude Award for Class 3A baseball; the IHSAA's citation carries a National Honor Society member on the LaPorte County Leadership Committee and the Dean's List, the son of Tyson Sr. and Lindsey Greenwood of New Carlisle, bound for Purdue University Fort Wayne for business and baseball. Postseason honors: IHSBCA All-State honorable mention and Prep Baseball's 2024 Class 3A All-State team at pitcher.

Reed Robinson. The sophomore delivered the title's decisive swing: down to his final strike with two outs in the fourth inning, he laced a two-run single that broke the final open. His season RBI total is a printed conflict, carried whole and unmerged: the IHSAA's finals report says he was "tied for the third-most RBI (41) in the state of Indiana this season"; the Congressional Record of 11 July 2024 says his "43 RBIs were the second most in all of Indiana." Both prints stand. Robinson's later record: Prep Baseball's 2024 Class 3A All-State team as a utility player, an IHSBCA All-State honorable mention, a Northern Illinois commitment, and, as a senior leader in the Tribune's 2026 coverage, a solo home run in the 2026 sectional semifinal against South Bend Saint Joseph.

The supporting cast. From the finals account: Colin Laskowski's single started the fourth-inning rally before back-to-back walks loaded the bases for Robinson; three-hole hitter Jordan Davis matched Robinson's RBI effort three pitches later to extend the lead to four runs; Joe Kinney entered in relief in the seventh and clinched the championship with a strikeout, stranding the bases loaded. Brody Traxler joins the named cast from the IHSBCA's 2024 All-State honorable-mention list. The game itself: New Prairie (26–5, ranked No. 8) beat Brebeuf Jesuit (25–9) for the school's first baseball finals appearance and first baseball title — its second state title in any sport, a year after softball's — closing a run of twelve consecutive wins dating to 6 May. The full 2024 roster is printed here at the size the read record carried it: the IHSAA finals report and the All-State lists name the players above; the finals program's roster page was not retrieved in this section, and no roster beyond those names is asserted.
