The 1989 season was a tough one for the Hawks, who finished 11th with a 7-17 record. Injuries and inconsistent performances plagued the team throughout the year, and they struggled to find any rhythm. Despite the challenges, Norman Taylor stood out as the team's MVP, providing a bright spot in an otherwise difficult season. The Hawks would need to make significant changes to turn things around in the coming years.
