Danville’s run ends at state championships

The clock struck midnight for the Cinderella Danville Lady Hawks softball team at the 3A state championship in Oxford.

The Lady Hawks, the only team to advance to the state championships with a losing record, finished 0-2, losing to St. James and Piedmont.

The Lady Hawks will return all but one player from this year’s roster. Hanah Tillman is the only senior for coach Christy Ferguson.

According to Ferguson, the future is bright for her young team, who now knows what it takes to compete for a state championship.
