CADIZ — Things are looking up for Harrison Central in 2022.
The Huskies are coming off a Division III District Tournament appearance and return five quality starters from that team.
If that’s not enough to be excited about, they will also play their home games on the new state-of-the-art all-turf field on the school campus.
The seniors are Jenna Young (1B), Sarah Touville (SS) and Tristin Kovarik (P); and juniors Maddy Butler (3B) and Lizzy Clelland (C).
“We have a core nucleus of players returning and some young girls that need to grow up real fast,” head coach Darrin Young said. “We should be strong defensively with three of our infielders, our pitcher and catcher back.”
The roster is completed by juniors Brook Heavilin, Kaylin Ledger and Alina Williams; sophomores Isabel Yeager, Alex Dray, Rylee Smith and Harlee Barber; and freshmen Olivia Tonkovich, Kaylee Banal, Jada Barber, Braylee Dunfee and Hailey Toker.
Graduation losses were Lexi Ferguson, Danielle Beadling and Abby Joswiak.
Young reported that there are no new teams on schedule this year.
“We play the same rugged schedule as always,” he noted. They compete in the Buckeye 8 North.
In addition to Young, the coaching staff consists of Robbie Davia, Tom Kenny, Scott Porter, George Hopkins, Benji Roski and Kara Kenny.
Young is entering his sixth year of leading the Huskies.
