"I'm proud of what our team has accomplished thus far," said head coach Eric Lee, "We had some growing pains early due to the youth and inexperience of our roster, but we quickly found our way. The key at this point is to stay focused and not be satisfied with what we've accomplished in the regular season because hopefully we still have a lot of softball left to play."

The Region X regular season champion #2 Hurricanes play the opening round of the Region tournament Wednesday against Southeastern Community Community College.
