Huntland Lady Hornets Season Ends Against Powerful HRB Central Squad

BRUCETON, Tenn. — The Huntland Lady Hornets closed out a challenging but promising season Friday night, falling to a red-hot Hollow Rock-Bruceton Central team that rode an offensive wave to a 14-0 victory.

Despite the final score, the young Huntland squad showed flashes of the talent that helped them secure nine wins this season against a grueling schedule that featured multiple ranked opponents.

The Lady Hornets have overcome significant adversity this year, building something special with a roster that never stopped fighting all season long.

Millie Walker provided one of the bright spots for the Lady Hornets, breaking up Madison Holder's no-hit bid with a clean single. It was the kind of quality at-bat that has characterized Walker's approach at the plate throughout the season.

Huntland pitcher Kinah Mason battled valiantly against an HRB Central lineup that has been terrorizing opposing pitchers all season. The junior hurler showed remarkable poise in challenging situations throughout the contest, continuing her role as the backbone of this Lady Hornets squad all year.

The Lady Hornets found themselves in an early hole when Holder connected for a solo home run in the first inning. The deficit expanded to four runs after two innings, as Huntland struggled with defensive execution that has been uncharacteristic of a team that has shown significant improvement throughout the season.

The game slipped away in the middle innings, with HRB Central capitalizing on a few Huntland miscues to pad their lead before breaking things open with a six-run fourth inning. Spencer Ervin and Cloe Morgan delivered the big blows for the Lady Tigers during that decisive frame.

Despite the lopsided score, the Huntland dugout remained engaged until the final out, a testament to the character and resilience that defined their 2025 campaign. The Lady Hornets' fighting spirit never waned, with players continuing to encourage one another through the final inning.

For the Lady Hornets, the 9-13 season record represents progress for a program that continues to build toward contention in a highly competitive district.
