With the start of the new softball season, Hawthorne High School looks to have another winning season this year and make it back to states after going 14-7 in 2018.

The HHS Varsity softball team has a lot of returning players, along with some new faces, bringing new skills and some uncertainty to the team. The girls first scrimmage was a loss to PCTI 4-1, not the best start but the team is still working out the kinks and the new faces.

In their next scrimmage against Lakeland the Bears lost 5-1. A player on the team said they, “could not hit the ball and they didn’t look good out there as a team.”

Although the girls aren’t off to the best start, they will look to turn it around as they head into the regular season and get more comfortable playing as a team.

Go Bears!!!
