Hawkins, a senior infielder, went 4 for 4 with two home runs and six RBI to lead the Barracudas to an 11-4 win over rival Palmetto on March 28, the first of five games — all wins — for Coral Reef last week.

On the season, Hawkins is hitting .415 and leads Coral Reef with 23 RBI, 22 runs scored and five home runs. The Barracudas are 13-6-1.

Somerset Silver Palms flag football’s Jaida Bayron, True North baseball’s Austin Simmons, Monsignor Pace baseball’s Sean Duffin and St. Brendan baseball’s Luis Suarez rounded out this week’s participants.
