The Hawks took the road to matchup with the Ezell-Harding Eagles. From the onset the Hawks set the tone and took the game to the eagles who with a depleted 7/8 roster dressed and player their 6th graders. The Eagles were no match for the apparent size and skill gap one would assume in the unfortunate circumstances for Ezell-Harding, but it was a boost to the Harding Hawks confidence to put together sustainable drives and put point on the board. Leading 20-0 at halftime, the Hawks scored on their first two possessions from scrimmage and were able to play all of their younger players throughout the 3rd and 4th quarter, providing them with significant experiences to learn from in a 32-0 win. The Hawks will suit up again on Wednesday, September 25th for their last home game vs Grace Christian Academy.

With trail names like Megawatt, Electric Avenue, High Voltage and Livewire, the mountain bike team knew it was time to pedal out some extra watts for their NICA/TICL State Championships at Raccoon Mountain, and survive the technical trails above Chattanooga full of boulder gardens, rock drops and sandy rubble.
Winged Deer Park and trails in Johnson City hosted our 4th race on Sunday October 11th, and despite a bit of hurricane outwash winds and showers - and reduced team numbers due to fall break and distance from Nashville - our racers utilized all available skills and speed which helped “wing" Sophomore Claire Dehner to a 4th place podium spot, our first podium appearance and medal for the season.
Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
