Harding Football 2024 Interest Form

Please fill out this form if your student has an interest in playing tackle football for Harding Academy in the fall of 2024. You are NOT committing to play by filling out this form. Please do fill out the form even if you are unsure at the present time.

This will help us create a distribution list for information throughout the spring and summer and will also help us have an initial estimate on our roster numbers. We are hopeful that we have enough interest to have 3 teams, a 5th grade team, a 6th grade team, and a 7/8 grade varsity team. If our numbers are short in 5th and 6th grade...we will form a combined 5/6 team.

Hawks Baseball Fall to MBA in Season's 2nd Game 
The Young Hawks fell to Montgomery Bell Academy 11-0 on Wednesday afternoon ... despite some solid and timely defense by the Hawks.  In the bottom of the first, Riley Bundren (2025) rocked a double off of the right-centerfield fence to get the offense going but was not able to score the Hawks' first run despite some solid swings behind him in the order.  Solid defense was turned in by catcher Michael Holscher (2026)Joey Spallauto (2026)Avin Burditt (2025), and Walt Sanders (2024) to keep the game close until MBA was able to pull away in the 4th and 5th innings for the HVAC win.  The Hawks Varsity return to action this coming Monday, April 1 @ Harding's Highway 70 Stadium versus Pope Prep at 4:15 p.m.  Come out and cheer on the Navy Blue!
