<p>With an 8-3 record and a perfect season in District 6-1A play, the Hustlers realized that if they were going to take the 2025 season to the next step, it would take a solid spring and summer, and as the Hustlers get ready for next week's opener, head coach <strong>Willie Tillman</strong> and this team are indeed ready for the challenge ahead.</p>

<p>With some new faces and key returnees, this is a year that this program has been looking forward to.</p>
