The Middletown Journal posted the area stats for the 2009 Baseball and Softball seasons for area High Schools. Carlisle Indians are pasted all over the list and rank high in many areas. The Baseball and Softball programs truly should be commended for the work that Coach Sizemore (Baseball) and Coach Ridinger (Softball) have done for the programs. These are two very hard working individuals that have poured their life into these programs and in turn have had great success. Winning records, College signings, leading stats in the area, and positive team efforts have really placed our players and coaches in the area spotlight. As a community, we should support our school programs, whether it be scholastic, artistic, and athletic these teachers, leaders, and coaches have done an excellent job in teaching our children the fundamentals of learning, playing, and performing.
