St. Mary’s Colgan 2-1A State Baseball Champions ⚾️

St. Mary’s-Colgan added another trophy to one of the most dominant dynasties in Kansas high school baseball history Friday.

The Panthers captured the 2026 KSHSAA 2-1A state championship at Tointon Family Stadium with a 7-3 victory over TMP-Marian, giving legendary head coach Mike Watt his 19th state title. Even more impressive, all 19 championships have come since he won his first in 1993.

Brady Crossland turned in one of the day’s biggest performances, driving in three runs while also getting the start on the mound. Crossland and Brock Radell helped fuel a pivotal third inning that gave Colgan its first lead of the game. Brady Badart then slammed the door in relief, tossing three scoreless innings while adding two stolen bases as the Panthers kept the pressure on TMP throughout the afternoon.

Emma Hale of SIK caught up with Coach Watt, Senior Brady Badart and Senior Brady Crossland after their win yesterday. #sportsinkansas

Nothing was handed to him.

Chase Curtis went from JUCO baseball to walking on at TCU and now he’ll finish his career as a Horned Frog captain in the Alamo Bowl versus USC on Tuesday.

Eight years. Two sports. One relentless pursuit of a dream.

This is what perseverance actually looks like

Juco ⚾️➡️ Walk-On 🏈➡️ Scholarship ➡️ Captain.

From Pittsburg High School to becoming a team captain at TCU, Chase Curtis (PHS ‘18) has one of the most incredible journeys in college football.

🏈 Three-sport all-state athlete at Pittsburg HS
⚾ JUCO baseball at Neosho CC (Fall 2018–20)
🏈 Walked on at TCU in 2020, earned a scholarship by 2022
🏆 Played in the 2022 National Championship game
📈 From 6’4” 155 lbs as a HS junior QB to 6’5.5” 240lbs TE, TCU Captain in 2024 & 2025
🎓 Now in his 8th year of college athletics

Curtis has caught two touchdowns this season and has been a stantdout blocker. He will also have a shot to play on Sundays.

A true story of chasing dreams, perseverance, and never giving up. On top of all that, Curtis is a complete class act, on and off the field. Pittsburg and the entire state should be proud.
