Looks like the throwers running quota is fulfilled for the year. Just have to entice with them a prize for who collects the most Easter eggs.

Congrats Houston Hill*

*Alleged questionable/controversial ending.

THANK YOU for dedicating 6 seasons to not only the sport you love, but also being an influence to others. At future practices, my own 2 boys will miss spending time (& often, pestering) you two.

Signing off for the HPS Throws; wishing the best of luck to your future endeavors!

The end of a T&F season means the unfortunate send-off for throwers.

This yr, it is especially difficult. For after 6 seasons, Michalee Brownawell & Cruz Brooks have completed their HS throwing journey.

They both leave their marks on the HPS throwing program in so many ways.

[Hershey Throws @HPSThrows]

From their collective throwing careers & journey, they broke school records, became conference & district champions & were multi-yr state qualifers + state medalists.

These two PRESERVED as individuals & athletes from the highs & lows that are involved in the throwing world.
