Heyworth’s win-loss record from last season may not have looked the prettiest, but don’t mistake the Hornets for a team that didn’t compete. After suffering 11 single-digit losses a year ago with many coming against the Heart of Illinois Conference’s best teams, the Hornets will rely on an experienced core to turn those close defeats into victories.
Leading the way for Heyworth is last year’s scoring leader in the HOIC, Kyra Denning, who will be complimented by fellow guards Ava Riddle, Danielle Strunk and freshman breakout candidate Grace Hartwig.
