When the HCS softball team takes the field Saturday afternoon in sectional play, there's more at stake than which team advances to the next round in the post season.

Saturday's game will help high school athletes in tornado-ravaged Joplin, MO get back in the field.

This Saturday at 1 pm, the #2 HCS softball team will host #7 Belleville-Henderson in the quarterfinal round of the Section III Class D playoffs. The team will also be donating the proceeds from their concession stand, and from a 50/50 raffle, to the Joplin, Missouri High School and its softball team.  

Joplin High School, and its baseball and softball fields, were devastated in the tornado that hit their city last Sunday, and the Emerald Knights are showing their support for them in their rebuilding process.  

Hamilton's coaches and players are asking spectators who come out and support the HCS softball team by cheering on the players, and by participating in this very special fund-raising event.
