A record season, from front to back

HARRISON – There are many reasons Harrison High School’s varsity girls soccer team has lost only four matches over the last two seasons. Perhaps at the top of the list – they had school record-setters at both the offensive and defensive ends of the field.

Senior Abby Smith finished her career with more assists than any other Wildcat in history, 45. Overall, she scored 111 points (33 goals, 45 assists) and was the team’s top scorer in 2025, with 46 points (15, 16).

Sophomore goalkeeper Mallory Oliver broke the career shutout record and now has 18 – with two seasons remaining.

Youth hunt for free

INDIANAPOLIS - If you know a youngster who’s curious about hunting, take them out for Free Youth Hunting Days on Saturday, Nov. 29, and Sunday, Nov. 30.

These two free days offer any youth (17 years or younger) the opportunity to hunt in-season game species, such as deer, squirrel, and rabbit, without needing to purchase a hunting license. All youth hunters must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 18 years old and has a valid hunting license (unless exempt from needing a license under regular season guidelines).

DNR anticipates a high volume of online traffic throughout this month, so don’t wait until the last minute to access your account in DNR’s new license system, the Activity Hub.

If you previously had a child or other person linked to your account, you will need to re-establish that link in the hub. The process functions differently from the previous license system, so please allow ample time to familiarize yourself with it.

In the previous system, anyone younger than 18 years old qualified for a youth account. In the new system, this has been lowered to anyone under 13 years old. This change will affect how you manage a child’s account.

For instructions on how to link accounts, go to www.in.gov/dnr.

Clearly, Harrison advances past Kings

HARRISON – The Wildcats’ football team has been in a similar situation each of the last two seasons, but this was still unique. Harrison had won on the road in the second round of the Division II Region 8 playoffs in 2023 and 2024, but not under these conditions.

A heavy fog settled over the field at Kings High School, making what was happening on the field little more than a rumor to fans in the stands, causing them to rely on player reaction and the scoreboard to keep up.
