With an 11-1 win over host Hawken on Monday, Harvey clinched its fourth Chagrin Valley Conference Chagrin Division title in the last five seasons.
“Since I started here, I have wanted to build this program to this level, and winning the conference for the fourth time in five years is a testament to the hard work and commitment of so many players over the years,” said Harvey coach Betsy Hada. “I couldn’t be more proud of these kids—not just the ones on this year’s team but every player who’s helped lay the foundation for our success.”
Harvey wasted little time taking the momentum.
The Red Raiders scored three runs in the top of the first, five in the second, and three more in the third of the rain-shortened game.
Samantha Boykin led the charge for the Red Raiders as she finished the game 2-for-3 with a triple, scored two runs, and knocked in a pair of runs. She also went the distance in the circle, fanning seven while allowing one unearned run on just one hit.
Jayla Holloway, Dana Ramirez, Payton Robertson, and Dayanna Soto also had hits for the Red Raiders.
“Dana Ramirez’s leadership and energy were huge for us last night,” Hada said. “She kept everyone fired up and focused, and her voice behind the plate really set the tone.”
Harvey’s streak of four titles in five years didn’t happen by accident. It was the result of hard work, dedication, and each player trusting the process.
“Winning the conference is a reflection of the incredible leadership and determination of our senior class,” Hada said. “They’ve set the standard every day—on and off the field—and their commitment paved the way for this achievement. I’m so proud of what they’ve accomplished and the legacy they leave behind.”
The 11-3 Red Raiders travel to Crestwood on Tuesday.
