Karson Hard (‘26, William Blount) The William Blount leadoff hitter and second baseman would have an impressive day for the Govs on wednesday night. Hard brings some impressive physicality, being a 6.67 60 yard dash and has twitchy explosive actions at the plate. He would have two hits in a district rivalry against Maryville, starting several run scoring rallys. He brings in a smaller frame at 5’8 but has present strength that should fill out more. A ball player in all sense of the word and should continue to get better for WIlliam Blount this spring and over the summer.
