With the rest of the academic year canceled at schools across the state due to COVID-19, KCII is beginning to count down our top ten stories from the recently shortened and concluded year. Number 10 at Hillcrest Academy sees the return of a familiar face. Kent Blossom is scheduled to make a return to the diamond for Hillcrest Academy this summer. Blossom was named head coach of the Raven softball team over the winter. He served as head coach of the program from 2002-2007 before transitioning to head baseball coach from 2008-2012. As a head softball coach he compiled an overall record of 57-137. In 2012, he guided the IMS baseball team to a district championship and substate final appearance, coming up one out shy of a state tournament bid.
