Lady Cards in search of new softball coach

HARLINGEN — Harlingen High will be looking for a new head softball coach for the upcoming season as Cassandra Hernandez was relieved of her duties earlier this month, she confirmed Friday afternoon.

According to the Harlingen CISD website, the position became officially available this week.

Hernandez spent two seasons as the Lady Cards’ skipper and had an 11-17 district record.

In her first season, Hernandez guided the Lady Cards to a playoff berth, but fell in the bi-district round against Edinburg North. This past season, the Lady Red Birds missed the playoffs and finished with a 4-10 league mark.

The job opening marks the second softball position up for grabs in District 32-6A as Kristy Leal left San Benito after accepting the Mercedes job earlier this month.
