Hartsville – Though no state championships were won, the Hartsville High spring sports competed at a high level and posted strong showings in region 6-AAAA.
Hartsville’s baseball, softball and boys soccer and girls soccer teams finished either first or second in the region standings, thus making the AAAA Lower State playoffs.
The baseball won the region six title and finished the 2025 season with a 20-6 overall record. The Red Foxes were eliminated in the playoffs by Beaufort, losing twice in a best-of-three series.
There were plenty of solid individual performances by the Red Foxes. Senior Jackson Moore was selected as a AAAA all-state player by the SC baseball coaches association. The Clemson signee finished the season with a .521 batting average and 33 runs batted in.
Sophomore Bryce Oliver was even better at the plate, posting a .526 batting average and finishing with 27 RBIs. Senior Web Barnes hit .434 with 22 RBIs and junior Jaden Atkinson hit .473 with 19 RBIs. Another junior, Brandon Anderson, finished up at .431 and 29 RBIs while senior Casey Hawkins hit .365 with 29 RBIs.
Anderson, Atkinson and Oliver also were key performers on the mound. Anderson had nine wins and a 1.58 earned run average while Atkinson won six games and Oliver posted four wins. Those three underclassmen will be the key leaders in 2026, at the plate and on the mound.
Hartsville’s softball team finished with a 23-6 record, finishing second in the region with an 11-1 record. The Red Foxes posted two playoff wins over Gilbert and a win over May River, but were eliminated with losses to region foe South Florence and eventual state champion Gray Collegiate.
