Senator David Bullard welcomed the Coach Billy Jack Bowen and his team to the State Capitol.
“It was my great privilege to acknowledge a quality team to the Senate this afternoon,” Bullard said. “Coach Bowen has not just taught baseball but an approach to life. That hard work, focus, and grit go a long way to success. I am proud of my Silo Rebels. Good job men!”
The Rebels finished the season undefeated – the first state championship team to do that since Latta in 2001, according to Prep Nation.
Silo has a 49-game winning streak, has won 66 of the last 67 games and is 95-5 during the last three seasons. The Rebels have earned 15 state titles in the last 17 years, and have now won three in a row, following championships in Spring 2018 and Fall 2018.
