Sibley High started the baseball season with a 4-14 record and only ended up at .500. But that record included a winning streak that was capped by a state title.

"Baseball is about streaks, and we got hot at the right time," said Henry Sibley catcher Matt Richards, who had two hits and scored two runs. "If somebody would've said we would be state champions, nobody would've believed it."

"We're .500. We don't have a losing record any more," Henry Sibley outfielder Sam Gantman yelled as he waited to hoist the championship trophy.
