Coach’s Comments: “Harrison is a great young wrestler. He is growing to be more dominant every day. Harrison had a Big Regional Tournament, where he was seeded 5th and lost his first match. With the chips stacked against him, Harrison stood strong and beat a returning State Qualifier. That punched his ticket to the State Championships. His victory helped Greenbrier East finish as Regional Runner-up. When Harrison wrestles with confidence and consistency, he is a hard wrestler to beat.”
