Harding had two more dual meets this week on Tuesday, Nov. 5 against Grace Christian Academy and Thursday, Nov. 7 against the Big Red of MBA. The wrestlers continued to make progress even in the face of some very stiff competition.
Against GCA, Ben Lucas '25 and Finn Castle '25 continued their win and pin streak. Both wrestlers remain undefeated on the season. Ari Hasson '25 also won a varsity match for the Hawks! Winning exhibition matches for Harding were 5th Graders Benjamin Reavis, John Bickerstaff, and Charlie Puryear.
The Hawks welcomed MBA to Roberts Gymnasium on Thursday, Nov. 7. Connor Gunnels '27 got the match started off in a great way with a pin. Ben Lucas '25 and Finn Castle '25 followed with pins in their matches. Both Lucas and Castle are headed towards being tops seeds in the Harpeth Valley Athletic Conference Tournament in a few weeks. A handful of Harding wrestlers recorded exhibition victories. John Bickerstaff '28, Benjamin Reavis '28, Gideon Johnson '28, Reid Hocker '28, and Elliott Mangano '26 all pinned their opponents.
