HOGLUND HEAVEN! SM EAST WINS 6A STATE BASEBALL TITLE IN EXTRA INNINGS!

Luke Anderson will bring his hot bat to Hoglund Thursday as the Lancers open state baseball play.

For the third time in school history and the first time since 1995, SM East’s baseball team has taken the state title. With an extra-innings win over defending state champion Lawrence Free State, the Lancers finally captured the prize that had eluded them the past two years. (And if you’re counting at home, that’s FOUR titles for the Lancers — girls swim and dive, boys golf, boys lacrosse and now baseball — in less than two weeks).

Full story with lots of pics coming in the a.m….but for now suffice it to say: IT’S A GREAT DAY TO BE A LANCER!
