From "Knights" to "Champs"

Yeah, it's tough to win titles when you're recruiting kids from 62 different counties. But then again, I shouldn't complain, that would be whining. I'll put my head back in the sand.

Lexington Catholic could change its nickname from "Knights" to "Champs," and it'd be hard to argue.

Having already celebrated state titles in football and girls' basketball this school year, Lexington Catholic won the state baseball championship last night.

The Knights beat Beechwood 6-4 in the finals of the Fifth Third State Tournament in front of 2,596 fans at Applebee's Park.

"We knew in the pre-season we had a lot of work to do, but by mid-season we could tell we had the hitting, pitching and defense to win it all," said junior center fielder Ben Revere, the tournament MVP.

"It feels great to have it all come together like this."

Lexington Catholic became the third city team in four years to take home the trophy. Lexington Christian Academy won it last year and Paul Dunbar in 2003.
