In the state tournament, he averaged 34.3 points per game and his 103 points broke a 37-year-old 6A tournament record. [3] He graduated as his school's all-time leading scorer. [4] Harding was named Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year. [5] On April 22, 2016, he committed to play college basketball for Weber State over an offer from Loyola (Illinois).
