PREP REPORT
Boone Grove baseball coach Rollie Thill will be taking home two honors from this year's IHSBCA State Baseball Clinic awards banquet. Thill will receive the Coach of the Year Award for District B and the Victory Club Award at the banquet on Friday, January 19, in Indianapolis.
"It's nice to feel that my peers feel like I'm doing a good job," Thill said. "I always respect their opinions, and we have a pretty good brotherhood as coaches around here, especially in Northwest Indiana."
In four years at Boone Grove, Thill has compiled an 88-30 record. Last year's team went 26-4 and advanced to the sectional finals.
