A Historic Matchup
Guerin Catholic’s baseball team is set to contest its first ever IHSAA state championship game, a milestone that has electrified the school’s community. The Golden Eagles will face Andrean, a program renowned for nine state titles and a legacy of excellence.
Coach Dave Schrage has told his players to relish the experience, to create memories that will last beyond the scoreboard. His message underscores the value of the moment as much as the competition.
Andrean arrives with a potent lineup, featuring two batters who are hitting above .400 and a pitching staff that has been dominant throughout the tournament. The opposition’s reputation adds a layer of challenge to the Golden Eagles’ historic run.
On the Guerin side, senior right‑hander Kaden Maxwell stands unbeaten at 6‑0 with a 2.00 earned‑run average, while sophomore left‑hander Ian Funk is also undefeated, posting a 7‑0 record and a 1.52 ERA. Their performances have been pivotal in the team’s march to the championship.
The game is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at Victory Field, where fans will gather to witness a clash that blends tradition with the excitement of a first‑time contender.
