Harrison finishes in third place and sees individual success at the Cobb County Championships.
Harrison’s Hoyas batted .750 in Saturday’s championship finals of the U.S. Army Cobb County Invitational at Sprayberry High School, capturing championships in three of the four weight classes in which they were entered.

Harrison defeated Allatoona in a dual that would come down to the last wrestler.
Harrison High School’s wrestling team faced off against the Allatoona Buccaneers Wednesday in a dual that would come down to the last wrestler.

Redemption and last minute drama lift Hoyas.
Hillgrove wrestler Robert Boyette had Harrison’s Patrick Curry on his back in the second period with a chance to take third place in the region, but the whistle blew to end the period. Curry held out as Harrison won 28-26. The first round of the 4-AAAAA region championship saw the Hoyas taking on cross-town rival North Cobb. The match started out with Theresa Bernard pinning James Allen, and the Hoyas never looked back. It seemed every time the Warriors had momentum in a match, their counterpart would pull off a reverse and they would get pinned. Harrison took the dual 58-19 and would face the Kennesaw Mountain Mustangs. The dual featured the second and third ranked teams in the region, Harrison and Kennesaw Mountain respectively. When two…
