Peoria-area baseball coach Jerry Rashid loses state championship ring won at IVC in 2006
Jerry Rashid needs your help.
The Eureka College baseball coach has lost a prize possession — the championship ring he won at Illinois Valley Central as coach of the school's 2006 Class A Illinois state champ.
The legendary coach earned the bling at IVC, leading the Grey Ghosts to the program's first-ever state title, a 40-2 record and finishing No. 40 in the final 2006 Baseball America High School Top 50 ranking.
He took to social media Saturday morning to lament about his absent ring.
Sadly , I have lost my 2006 IVC State Championship ring on Thursday. Last known places were Eureka College or Sherman’s Appliance store. No monetary value but sentimental value. My name is on it so if you find it please contact me.
Thank you!— Jerry Rashid (@JRashid19) September 2, 2023
