Cyclones Softball Team Eyes Growth Amid Rebuilding Season

The Harlan Cyclones softball team is entering a rebuilding phase this season with new coaches Brett Croghan and Nolan Reese at the helm. After a challenging previous season with a 3-29 record, the team faced a tough start, losing both games in a double-header against No. 15 ranked Creston and suffering an 8-0 defeat against ADM.

Coach Croghan emphasizes the importance of developing the team’s younger players and boosting their defensive skills, while he remains hopeful that the batting will improve as the season progresses. So far, the pitching has been a significant concern, with the Cyclones giving up 35 runs in just three games.

As the squad prepares to face Denison-Schleswig tonight at 7:30, the community is rallying behind the young athletes, eager for growth and improvement as the season unfolds.
