The Hornet covers the day-to-day life of a JUCO athlete, softball star Allyson Fuentes. She is the OEC Pitcher of the Year and a CCCAA First Team All-State member. The Hornet’s Photography Intern Yasmin Sotelo was able to capture the long school day Fuentes goes through. Between classes Monday-Thursday, weekly practice, daily recovery and mulitple games sprinkled in throughout the week. Fuentes exemplifies what it truly means to be a student-athlete, finding time to study and put her faith first in between strikeouts.
