Baseball

Player of the Year:
Griffin Crain, Hendricken

Griffin Crain wrapped up one of the best baseball careers in state history by guiding the Hawks back to the state championship in June. Crain was not only Hendricken’s ace on the mound, but he was also its most consistent contributor at the plate. The highlight of the season came when he knocked in the walk-off game-winner in Game 1 of the state title series, and then he earned the complete game win in Game 2. He finished the year by taking home Gatorade Player of the Year honors.
