*Scholarship Recipient Spotlight*
Our IBBA Community Leadership Scholarship for Nimitz High School, is proudly presented to Christian Ugalde, Varsity Catcher Irving Nimitz Baseball
In recognition of outstanding dedication, leadership and sportsmanship both on and off the field. Your commitment to excellence and your impact on the IBBA community reflect the true spirit of the game. We are proud to honor your achievements and support your continued success.
From Christian himself, "I just wanted to say thank you to IBBA for giving me this scholarship. IBBA opened the door to baseball for me at the age of 5, and I am very thankful for the program because it helped me grow to love and enjoy the sport. From T-ball and coach pitch to kid pitch, River Bottoms will always hold a special place in my heart.
Thank you for providing a little league experience that allowed me to play the game, make lifelong friends, and learn the sport that has now become such an important part of my everyday life. I truly appreciate everything you have done for me.
I am blessed to share that I will be continuing both my academic and baseball career at Ecclesia College in Arkansas. God willing, when my playing days come to an end, I plan to give back to the youth in Irving the same way others have poured into me."
Congratulations Christian and thank you for playing ball with us!
