23-24 Hoya Wrestling Team
A legacy of greatness
The legacy of harrison wrestling began in 1991 under the tutelage of legendary coach Brian Hage. Coach Hage lead a team that became formidable quickly reaching the top ten at the state tournament after only 5 years after the establishment of the program. Harrison was one of the toughest teams in the state year in and year out and won its first state championship during the 1999-2000 season. The program has continued to produce strong teams since this time and the harrison legacy is still very much alive.
Since the inception of the program, harrison wrestling has produced 12 top ten finishes at the state tournament, qualified for the state dual tournament 8 times since the tournament began in 2006. There have been 47 cobb county champions, 82 region champions, 4 sectional champions. The program is proud of its 93 state placers, including 27 finalist with 19 of those winning a state title.
One of the main reasons for the success of the program has been our top dog youth program feeding into the varsity program. The Top Dog programmed was established the same year as the high school program and is invaluable to the success of the Harrison Hoyas. Both the varsity and top dog programs are thriving with sixty at the high school and nearly 100 in the top dog program. We are committed to helping our athletes become great, not just on the mat but off the mat as well. We are dedicated to continuing the strong legacy here at Harrison and would love to have you be a part.

Wrestlerette Program
In addition to being the official score keepers for the wrestling team, our Wrestlerettes keep and maintain stats on every wrestler in the program, video matches for use by the coaches and the wrestlers, and track and inventory equipment and uniforms. Our Wrestlerettes travel with the team to local and out of state tournaments and set up and organize all home tournaments and matches. The Harrison HS Wrestlerettes also generate an amazing amount of enthusiasm and team spirit by creating the match posters, bulletin boards, and banners seen throughout the school.
