⚾️THE TROJANS REIGN SUPREME⚾️

For the first time in program history, the Girard Trojans are state champions.

History made in Girard.

The Trojans captured the first state baseball championship in program history Friday with a dominant 8-0 victory over Silver Lake in the 3A state title game at Tointon Family Stadium in Manhattan.

Junior Arkansas commit Kam Smith once again showed why he is regarded as one of the top pitchers in Kansas and one of the premier prospects in the country. Last season’s Sports in Kansas 3A Pitcher of the Year tossed a complete-game shutout with 10 strikeouts, allowing just three hits over seven innings in the championship game.

Smith finished the season with a remarkable 8-1 record and a 0.326 ERA over 64.1 innings. He struck out 112 batters while allowing just 23 hits and three earned runs all season long. Opponents hit only .105 against him as he helped lead Girard to a 24-5 season and a state championship.

Girard wasted no time taking control with a five-run first inning. Aiden Ashbacher and Robbie Bruning each delivered RBI singles before Ben Cullen broke the game open with a three-run triple.

Cullen finished with three RBI while both he and Jaxton Smith collected two hits. Sophomore Bryor Schultz also put together a tremendous season for the Trojans, hitting .455 with 45 hits and 14 doubles on the year. Girard was aggressive throughout the championship game as Ashbacher, Bruning, Jaxton Smith and Briggs Buckingham each stole multiple bases in a 10-steal performance.

Even more impressive, Girard made this championship run with just one senior starter in the lineup.

What a first season for legendary head coach Bob Fornelli. The longtime collegiate coaching icon previously led both Fort Hays State and Emporia State to NCAA Division II World Series runner-up finishes before retiring from Pittsburg State last year. Now, in year one at Girard, he adds a Kansas high school state championship to his remarkable career.

A historic moment for Girard baseball. #sportsinkansas

The most annoying thing in college baseball and it’s not close.

This is some serious double standard BS.

You’re letting male athletes that have signed pro contracts RETURN to college but this is a problem?!

No they’re not.

If you think you deserve to be in over the Sun Belt Champion, you’re always welcome to prove it by joining the Sun Belt.

If you think you deserve to be in over the Miami, you’re always welcome to prove it by joining the ACC.

If you think you deserve to be in over the American Champion, you’re always welcome to prove it by joining the American.

You’re not special. Join a conference.
