Harrah wrestling in familiar spot

Harrah wrestling coach Bryan Miller wasn’t sure how this season was going to turn out after losing so many quality wrestlers.

Being the smallest team in terms of classification in 5A didn’t help matters, either. However, the Panthers are heading back to the dual state competition in two weeks.

Harrah defeated Carl Albert 39-28 on Tuesday night in the district duals.

“I’m just so proud of the kids,” Miller said. “They’ve put in so much work, and they deserve this.”

Miller said one big turning point of the match came at 215 pounds. Harrah’s Matt Hasty was able to get a pin on Carl Albert’s Kyle Croak and that helped the Panthers pull off the victory. It is the fourth year in a row for Harrah to make it to dual state.
