Hawks Fall in 2 Dual Meets, But Continue to Improve
The Harding Academy varsity wrestling team had two dual meets last week, but was unable to score enough points for a team victory in either contest. The Hawks, however, continue to make individual improvements as the wrestling season progresses.
On Tuesday, Oct. 29, Harding traveled to Hendersonville to take on the JP II Knights. It was a closely contested match, but the Hawks fell in the end, 42-35. Winning varsity matches for Harding were Connor Gunnels '27, Ben Lucas '25 and Finn Castle '25. There were also several wrestlers who were victorious in exhibition matches. Luke Becker '27, Jet Taylor '27, Ben Lucas '25 and Finn Castle '25 all won their exhibition matches.
The next evening, Harding welcomed the BGA Wildcats to Roberts Gymnasium. BGA is one of the traditional powers in middle school wrestling in the Harpeth Valley Athletic Conference. BGA came out on top, 59-24, but 4 Harding wrestlers won varsity matches. Congratulations to Connor Gunnels '27, Ben Lucas '25, Finn Castle '25 and James Held '26, all of which had pins in their matches to tally the Hawks 24 points.
Grace Christian Academy (Tuesday, Nov. 5) and MBA (Thursday, Nov. 7) are up next as the Hawk wrestling team continues to work its way through their conference schedule. Lets go Hawks!!
