Milledgeville Girls Softball, Grenoble, Receive State Recognition

Representative Jim Sacia (R-89) personally honored the Class 1A State Champion Milledgeville High School Softball Team with an award on Monday, Sept.23 (Top).

Coach Brad Grenoble was also awarded a plaque from the Illinois Coaches Association presented by Paula Rademacher, recognizing Grenoble as a State-Champion Coach.

Representative Sacia said, “I am honored to have my last official act be in Carroll County in front of all of these amazing individuals. The neat thing about this, is that people in Springfield don’t know where Carroll County is. I am not leaving the political arena, I am at the end of my 6th term, and when I was elected, said I would only do 6.

“As a State Representative, I make recommendations to the House,” Sacia continued. “On behalf of the members of the State of Illinois House of Representatives, I congratulate you on being 2013 State Champions. Please accept this award as an expression of our utmost respect.” The award is signed by Speaker of the House Mike Maddigan.
