FOOTBALL Wildcat's spirit zooms higher during 1968 football season The spirit kicked high with the 1968 Harding Academy Wildcats. The Wildcats faced a tough schedule with determination. Coaches Cliff Sharp and Bill Barden lead the Wildcats to a final 4-4-1 record. Starting the season with a scoreless tie against Des Arc, the Cats went on to beat Harding Academy of Memphis. Losing- to Beebe, the Cats then won their first conference g-ame with Cotton Plant. After a defeat from Hazen, the Wildcats won their next two games, one of which was a conference game, the other Homecoming. The team lost their last two games, a conference game and a rivalry with Augusta.
