Gwaltney Leads Herrin Past Hardin County
Tigers post a win as the season takes shape
By Buddy "Friday Night" Cobb, Williamson County Bureau
HERRIN, Ill. — Herrin picked up a win over Hardin County, led by Gwaltney, according to the Southern Illinoisan. It's an early marker for a Tigers squad still finding its footing this season, and every win counts toward building momentum in a conference where nothing comes easy.
Herrin's program has weathered plenty of lean years and knows what a good stretch feels like when it arrives. A win over Hardin County won't make headlines outside the region, but it matters plenty to the players, the coaches, and the families packing the home stands.
Expect the Tigers to lean on the performance as they push into the heart of their schedule. Herrin fans have learned patience over the years — and they've learned to show up regardless, whether the team is chasing a title or just chasing consistency.
