Mars Boys Lacrosse Celebrates Its State Title, and Butler Baseball's Lasting Legacy

"State champion" has a nice ring to it. Mars boys lacrosse's Grant Weaver, Reed Fuller, David Renner and Jack Tirch joined the show today to continue celebrating their PIAA championship, the second in program history. The crew relived the final minutes of the game, their favorite highlights of the season, proving "the doubters" wrong and talked about what it means to them. Brendan and Jake also reacted to Butler baseball's historic season ending a win short of the ultimate glory — the program's first state title — but how it brought the Golden Tornado program to new heights and left a lasting legacy.  And our Butler Eagle Male and Female Athlete of the Year finalists are out this week. Before the staff announces the official honorees in July, who made the final cut and what do you need to know about the 10 top athletes of the entire 2025-26 year? Find out here, then go vote before next week to tell us who you think were the two best athletes. But first ... congrats to the Knicks, yada, yada, but Jake has an ax to grind about the coverage of New York's championship celebration to a certain other city's portrayal and is not going to be stopped shouting from the rafters about it.   For more on Butler Eagle Sports go to:   https://www.butlereagle.com/section/sports/   Follow on social media:   https://www.instagram.com/altereaglepodcast/   https://www.instagram.com/butlereaglenews/   www.alter-eagle.com     #WesternPA #butlercounty #highschoolfootball #predictions #Sports #sportspodcast #eyeonsports #altereaglepodcast #movember #menshealth #mentalhealth #butlereagle #sportswriters #swedishfish #pittsburgh #downtownbutler #butlerdowntown #podcast #butlerpa #butlercounty #collegefootball #steelers #eagles #coach #steelers #WPIALS #piaa  #HighSchoolSports #HighSchoolFootball #Fall2025 #EyeOnsportsPodcast #SeasonTwo #2026 #WPIAL #PIAA  #NCAA #Butler #PittsburghPA  #MarsBoysLacrosse #2ALacrosseChampions #StateChampions     This podcast is recorded and produced by Alter Eagle at The Butler Eagle, Eagle Printing, located in Butler, PA.   Cast:   Host: Derek Pyda, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Brendan Howe, Eagle Sports Writer   Co-Host: Jake Merda Adams, Eagle Sports Editor   Producer, Host & Editor: Laura Crago, Alter Eagle Producer & Host   Summer Intern: Dominic Frye
