As the school year comes to a close, HHCA Athletics is proud to celebrate a spring season defined by firsts, championships, and faith-fueled competition. From capturing back-to-back state titles, to rising to new levels of competition, to launching brand-new programs, our student-athletes showed what it means to lead with excellence, perseverance, and purpose. Whether dominating the field or laying the groundwork for future success, this spring every Eagle gave their all—for their teammates, their school, and an Audience of One.

This spring, our Eagles have once again proven that hard work and heart lead to extraordinary achievements.

⚾ Baseball: Diamond Excellence | SCISA 4A STATE CHAMPIONS 

Under the leadership of first-year Head Coach Jay Scarbro, HHCA’s baseball team stepped up to the plate and delivered a remarkable 22-9 season and captured a back-to-back State Championship title. With just one senior—Hayden Brooks— the young Eagles team may not have been the obvious pick for dominance. But from day one, they operated differently--rooted in faith, brotherhood, and a shared desire to play for an Audience of One. Three were recognized for their strong performances in the field and at bat, which helped lead the Eagles through a competitive season with grit and grace.

• All-Region: Hayden Brooks, Slaide Burd, and Roman Colella

From the start, we talked more about who we are than what we do. This team showed up for each other, played with humility and purpose, and committed to giving God their best every single day. That’s the culture we are building, and it’s what made this season so special.
