Through one quarter, Harding Academy looked like it was playing any other game it has this season. The Wildcats jumped out to a 20-0 lead after three touchdown passes by quarterback Owen Miller and two turnovers forced by linebacker Wyatt Simmons.
On the same day his brothers Andrew and Isaac advanced to the NCAA Division II national championship game with Harding University, Owen Miller led his Harding Academy football team to a 43-35 win over Rivercrest in the Class 4A state championship game Saturday night at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
