I rise to congratulate the Batavia High School Bulldogs for winning their first-ever Illinois state football championship.
On Saturday, November 30 Batavia faced off against Richards High School—which shares the same nickname—in an epic “Battle of the Bulldogs.”

At NIU’s Huskie Stadium in DeKalb, an estimated 12,000 Batavia fans roared as quarterback Micah Coffey threw for two touchdowns, and running back Anthony Scaccia ran for three more.
Both teams fought hard but Batavia prevailed, capping their virtually undefeated season with a 34-14 victory.
I commend Coach Dennis Piron and the entire Bulldogs team for the hard work that went into a strong 13-1 season and the IHSA Class 6A State Championship.
Go Bulldogs!
