JACKSON – There was plenty of excitement around the dais during a recent Township Council meeting and it was provided by a group of youngsters wearing red and decorated with stars for a special presentation by the governing body.
Members of the Holbrook Little League were in the house and they let their presence be known before and after that presentation that honored them for their winning record this past season.
Members of the Holbrook Little League 12-year-old All Star Team had recently visited the Mayor and Council and now it was the 9-year-old team’s turn to be recognized.
“They won the 9-year-olds District 18 2023 and Barnegat Tournament championship. This team not only won the tournament but did not lose a game and are 6-0 for the second consecutive championship. This is an accomplishment that Jackson Township is very proud of,” Council President Stephen Chisholm said.
“This journey would not be possible if not for the exemplary effort put forth by every individual member. This tournament was won as a team and the entire team should be commended for a job well done,” Chisholm added, reading the proclamation authorized by Mayor Michael Reina.
“I just want to congratulate those excited 9-year-old boys. Great job!” Councilwoman Jennifer Kuhn said.
“Congratulations to The Holbrook Little League 9-year-olds and Coach Holmes and his fellow coaches for winning the District 18 and Barnegat District champions. I hope they keep this up. Continue to make Jackson proud,” Councilman Nino Borrelli said.
Council President Stephen Chisholm congratulated the Holbrook Little Leaguers, “it was good to see them here with all their energy.”
