Spring hardware season at Hiland award banquets

Hiland High School awards banquets, held between Wednesday, May 25 and Monday, June 6, recognized Hawks and Lady Hawks athletes for their accomplishments, hard work and commitment over the spring sports season, which saw a Hawks senior become the first-ever boys tennis player from both Hiland and Holmes County to qualify for the State tournament, while his freshman cousin was just one step behind, reaching the District tourney in his first year of high school action; watched another senior, built like a linebacker, storm down the track like a wideout to qualify for Regionals in the 100-meter dash, while the only member of the girls track and field team took fifth-place in the Inter-Valley Conference in two different events; saw two All-Ohioans and the IVC Coach of the Year lead the Hawks baseball team to a 25-2 record and a District runners-up finish; and had both a senior and a freshman earn first-team East District honors while helping the Lady Hawks softball team nearly triple its win-total from 2010.
