To those entering the transfer portal… don’t overlook JUCO. A lot of good schools and softball programs at this level! Don’t sleep! 😴💪🏽🥎

Congrats @elward2303! You will do great things at Heartland Community College!

🥎Our final Senior Spotlight is Kendall Lowery! Kendall played softball all 4 years of high school & will attend Heartland Community College in the Fall to play softball then plans to advance on to a university to finish her degree. Good Luck Kendall!🎓

Big visions don't come to life through big actions. You achieve them by being consistent in the small, daily actions. Keep showing up. 🪵🪓

To these seven sophomores - Thank you for being such an incredible class. You have left such an impact on this program and you will truly be missed. Excited for what is next, BUT we have lots of season left together. 🥎 You will ALWAYS be a Hawk. Happy Sophomore Day! 💙🦅

How amateurs approach hitting • Inconsistent work ethic • Always change after they fail • Blame everyone else How the pros do it • Show up and work every day. • Stick to their process • Hold themselves accountable No age requirements for either.

*14.5 BUT we get to play softball this week!!! Hum Hawks 🦅🥎

Ultimately, where you go to school won’t matter. Points you score, awards you win, the social media pictures/posts & all the fanfare/accolades will be forgotten. The ONLY thing of real, lasting importance is WHO you become. Don’t let temporary things eclipse what really matters!

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. 12.5 games in 6 days in the mid 60's? Here for it. Come watch some softball next week.

@agoler35 Congrats!!

I am so excited & grateful for these opportunities this summer. A chance to learn from these amazing coaches & work with 2 USA teams!!! 🇺🇸 I sure wish my dad was here to watch. ❤️

“That’s when you know you have a really good team: when the players are coaching the team and they’re saying the things that you would say. It’s more impactful.” — Geno Auriemma

Coaching is loving a player as a human being first, and understanding their potential as an athlete next.

Talent sets the floor. Culture sets the ceiling. Make your culture your advantage.

Senior Kendall Lowery had a single, double and drove in three runs, while pitchers Maura Condon and Peyton Bryson combined to hold visiting Dixon to just four hits in the Pirates' 6-1 win on Wednesday afternoon at King Field. shawlocal.com/illinois-valle…

Understand that just because you can play D1 doesn’t always mean you should. There are a lot of great athletic programs at every level. With so many transfers, go where you are loved, wanted, comfortable & excited. Your athletic career will end; your experience will last forever!

Keep humming Hawks! 🦅
