The returning county and regional champion’s 9-0 mark included winning a clash between Montgomery County’s premier 106-pounders, 6-2, over previously unbeaten senior Brian Trinh of Paint Branch, and scoring a major decision over the host school’s 120-pounder.
“Other than Trinh, the rest of my matches were either pins or technical falls,” said Harris, who improved to 23-0 and was named Outstanding Wrestler. “This season has started out really well for me, and I’m really excited for it.”
