Young Rebel softballer players to lean on senior leadership in 2020

It took only one inning Saturday for Hays Rebel softball head coach Lisa Cone to discover the mettle of her young program. 

With her team facing an 11-6 deficit against Pflugerville Hendrickson, Hays galvanized itself and outscored the Hawks 8-1 down the stretch to take a 14-12 come-from-behind victory. 

Understandably, the win came during an early pre-district tournament that in the grand scheme of things won’t be a determining factor in the race for a playoff spot come April. But for Cone, the moment was a big step for a Rebel team that’s continuing to gel in 2020.
