Coach Tommy Burton has seen progress in Hardin-Central’s varsity girls basketball program since taking the helm in 2023. That progress started with himself, he suggested.

When Wellington-Napoleon and Norborne Hardin-Central (NHC) met in the District 4 Tournament, the Tigers did what NHC varsity 8-man football coach Andrew Watson and his Aggies had expected them to do. Like the regular-season meeting between the schools, the Tigers were led offensively by junior quarterback Jonny Hampton, according to Watson.
