Hawks Wrestling Takes Down The Panthers

Winning matches for Harding Academy in the dual meet were Jet Taylor '27, Elliott Mangano '26, Finn Castle '25, and James Held '26. There were several exhibition matches wrestled as well and Harding had several winners including, Luke Becker '27, Ben Lucas '25, and Charlie Paddon '25.
Harding JV Boys Soccer End the Season With a Win
The Harding boys JV soccer closed out their season with a 4-1 win against FRA yesterday. The team came out strong and played with a lot of intensity with many opportunities to score. The game was tied 0-0 going in to half time and after a good halftime speech, the boys came out strong with 4 goals with two coming from Ethan Bannock'27 and Henry Hardin'27 and Henry Wimberley'27 also scoring one goal each.
We end the season with a 3-3-1 record and we had so much growth over this short season. Our great attack lead by Ethan Bannock'27, Leo Galentino'27, with help from Henry Wimberley'27 and Henry Hardin'27 provided strong attacks and great finishes throught the season.
Our strong midfield made up of Pike McDaniel'27, Will Thompson'27, James Thomas'27, Emerson Hearn'27, with help from Levi Orley'25, Andrew Magliocca'26, Brandon Gedge'26, and Coleman Woodard'26, gave so much as they had to do the most running getting back on defense and moving forward up the field to help on offense.
Our tough defense made up of Asher Fremont'27, Nash Donahue'27, Jacob Mann'25, and Leland Kivett'27 with help from Ian Poland'25, William Sloan'27, Carter Bacon'27, and Patrick Lindley'27 made it tough for teams to get through and score all season. Also, killing it all season in the goal was Gabriel Pallecer Martinez'27, making great saves and occasionally coming out of the goal to help out.
This was a great way to end the season and the coaching staff is proud of everyone and hope to see them out there for another season next year.
