On Aug. 19, the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) announced that all Fall 2020 sports would be postponed until the Winter 2021 season. As a member of the NJCAA, Henry Ford College had no choice but to comply.

The shockwave known as the coronavirus has impacted not only people in our community, but people all over the country, and all over the world. It has uprooted schools, workplaces, the economy, the medical field, and the sports industry.

As everyone is aware, the coronavirus has affected everyone’s lives, all in different ways. For many athletes, this has meant the end of their season even before it began.

Athletes know there are risks while they are playing the sport that they love. Sometimes, these risks can be small, such as jamming a finger. Other times, it can be a career ending or even a potentially life-threatening injury.

As the new year begins, that means that it is almost time for softball season to start. At the end of the 2019 season, the Henry Ford College Hawks women’s softball team finished 15-25 overall, and 9-19 in their conference.

As of January 2020, Shannon Braun is the head volleyball coach for the 2020-21 season.

When making the transition from playing high school sports to playing in college, there is a bigger commitment than there was before.

Henry Ford College held a Turkey Trot fundraiser on Nov. 9 on its main campus in Dearborn. The run/walk included both a one mile race and 5K.

As the fall season ends, the Hawks women’s volleyball team reflects on its ups and downs.

Colleges are increasingly adding esports to their athletic programs.
