The 2024 Hornets was a youthful baseball squad that improved throughout the season. They started 0-5, but worked their way to a 10-10 overall record and 6-6 in the District for a fourth-place finish. 


In the playoffs, senior James Beasley pitched a no hitter against Wakefield in a 10-0 win. Herndon lost  to the district champs Yorktown in the semifinals. Herndon qualified for Regionals for the fourth time in five seasons, playing the Madison Warhawks, defending champs. The Warhawks prevailed 3-2 in eight innings.


In the final game, Beasley was the only senior on the field; the lineup consisted of two freshmen, two sophomores, and five juniors. Four seniors are graduating from the 22-player roster. 

 

Individual awards went to Beasley (First Team All District and Region, and Region Pitcher of the Year), and junior Brayen Humpherys (First Team All District and Region).
