The senior completed 28 of 42 passes for 295 yards, and three touchdowns, in the championship game.\nThe final score was a 10-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Stuttle in overtime, securing the 21-14 win at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb.\nLeading the team throughout a great regular season and playoff run was Coach Dennis Piron, who has headed the team since 2010, and who is a 1983 Batavia graduate.\nThis is the school\u2019s first state championship since 2013.\nStudents who cheered their siblings and friends on the 2013 Bulldogs team are now carrying the torch and celebrating their own victory as members of the 2017 team.\nCongratulations Batavia Bulldogs, past and present, for your achievements. Your success is well deserved.\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hultgren.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/congratulating-batavia-bulldogs-on-winning-state"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5404399018734694, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
