A Mark Morris player identified as Kira addressed the assembled governors' ceremony to summarize her program's season, calling it "by far the most impressive and successful season Mark Morris' fast pitch has experienced to date." She gave detailed team statistics: a 24-1 record, 317 runs scored, 14 runs allowed, a team batting average she presented as .452 and a team ERA of 0.49, and cited 301 strikeouts across 142 innings with 22 walks.
Governor Ferguson had introduced Mark Morris and said it was the program's first-ever state title; Kira thanked coaches, teammates and the community for support. She said the season's success came from a combination of pitching, defense and offense and highlighted the role of team culture and community backing in achieving the title.
The Mark Morris remarks were brief and focused on team performance metrics; the ceremony then continued with recognition of other champions and a period for photographs and tours.
