L.V. Phillips Mental Attitude Award

At the conclusion of each championship game, members of the IHSAA Executive Committee will present the
L.V. Phillips Mental Attitude Award in Baseball.
The award is annually presented to an outstanding senior participant in each classification who has demonstrated
excellence in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability in baseball. The award is named in honor
of the late L.V. Phillips, who served as the second commissioner of the IHSAA from 1945-62.
Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, IHSAA Corporate Partner, will present a $1,000 scholarship to the winner’s
school in the name of the recipient. Since 1989, over $840,000 in college scholarships has been presented to
L.V. Phillips deserving high school students in Indiana.
