The Highland Hornets are entering the new season with a clear vision: to translate the momentum of a 7‑5 record and a playoff appearance into tangible progress on the field.
Discipline and Teamwork at the Core
Head coach Philip Lovato has stressed that practice attendance, disciplined execution and minimizing distractions will be the foundation of the team's approach.
Veteran players Andres Acosta and William Achondo echo this sentiment, describing a culture of accountability that was forged during the summer and refined throughout the previous season.
A Crucial Matchup
The Hornets are slated to face Del Norte on Friday at 7 p.m. at Milne Stadium, a game that could mark their second victory of the season and reinforce their early‑season momentum.
Building on the lessons from last year’s playoff run, the squad is eager to apply the experience gained and push for a deeper postseason run in 2026.
