HCHS Senior Hayden Soma is set to take his baseball career to the collegiate level at Iowa Central in Fort Dodge. Excited about this opportunity, Soma reflects on his journey, noting how surprising this outcome is after initially dreaming of playing football.
At Iowa Central, Soma plans to major in agricultural business and minor in animal science. The school's state-of-the-art facilities, including a new turf field and clubhouse, helped him make his decision, along with friend Cade Sears’ positive experiences there.
Soma expresses deep gratitude for his parents, Susan and Chad, acknowledging their sacrifices that have supported his athletic and academic ambitions. He also thanks his coaches—Heath Stein, Dillon Sears, and James Cairney—for their invaluable guidance.
As Soma prepares for his senior baseball season, which kicks off on May 19 against Sioux City North, he aims for a successful playoff run after previous state appearances. “We’re looking to move past the first round this year,” he said.
