The Brooksville City Council meeting on June 16, 2025, celebrated a significant achievement for the Hernando High School varsity baseball team, with Vice Mayor leading the recognition. The atmosphere was charged with pride as the Vice Mayor expressed heartfelt sentiments about the team's impact on the community, stating, "This is bigger than the Bucks or Gators... what these boys do out here means everything for this community."

The Vice Mayor, a proud alumnus of the team, reminisced about his own experiences and emphasized the importance of the team's recent accomplishments, noting, "You guys notched your name in history in the Nando community." The council presented certificates to each team member, highlighting their dedication and hard work throughout the season.
