Lake County Council honors state-champion Lake Central and Hanover Central teams
Summary
The Lake County Council on July 14 passed several resolutions recognizing Lake Central and Hanover Central state-champion baseball and softball teams, presented certificates and heard remarks from coaches and student-athletes.
The Lake County Council used part of its July 14 meeting to recognize area high school athletic programs, approving multiple resolutions honoring Lake Central High School and Hanover Central High School state-champion teams.
Resolutions approved during the meeting honored the Lake Central High School girls softball team (IHSAA Class 4 state champions; defeated Terre Haute North, 9–2, on June 12, 2026; season record cited as 31–2 with a reported 74 home runs), the Lake Central boys baseball team (IHSAA Class A state champions; 5–0 win on June 20, 2026), and the Hanover Central girls softball team (IHSA Class 3 state champions; 6–4 win on June 12, 2026; season cited as 26–6).
Coaches, players and family members came forward to accept certificates. The coach who spoke described the honor as “a great honor for me as a coach, as our program, our players, our school,” and thanked the council and community for hosting the recognition. A council member who graduated from Hanover Central described personal family ties to the school and congratulated students for the accomplishment.
Why it matters: Council resolutions formally record community recognition for athletic achievement and provide official copies of commendations to the schools. The motions to approve the resolutions were made, seconded and carried by roll call during the meeting.
Outcome: All resolutions honoring the championship teams were approved during the session and ceremonial certificates were presented to coaches and players; no further action was required.
