Hayfield Falls to Madison 24-17

The Hawks are now 2-1.

The Hayfield Hawks fell to the James Madison Warhawks (2-1) 24-17 on Friday. The Hawks are 2-1, and the loss can be attributed to turnovers and a blocked punt in the fourth quarter, which resulted in a Madison Touchdown. "Nothing teaches you better than pain. It's the best teacher in the world," said Hayfield coach Roy Hill to his team after the game. "Hey, this is a man's sport and you've got to pick yourselves back up.

Hayfield Hawks Baseball Contenders for National District Crown

Hawks look to grab second consecutive National District championship.

Hayfield Secondary School's baseball team ended last season the way it began—on fire. The Hawks started the year with a seven-game win streak, scoring 10 or more runs in four of the team’s first seven games. Hayfield cruised through its regular season schedule and won the school’s second-ever district title as the Hawks defeated Yorktown 17-16 in the National District championship. This season, Hayfield (8-5) currently sits at 7-2 in National District play and is determined to prove that last year’s success was hardly a fluke. “While we did win districts last season, we only had two guys returning that contributed and played on that team,” said first-year head coach Michael Shore, who has been with the program for four years, told Patch …
