Colville Wrestling Aims for Big Season with Talented Lineup

“I am very excited for this season," Mahugh said. "It will be the first season in a long time that we should have a full dual line up (we have 20 boys and three girls this year).”

That depth is anchored by a strong core of returning standouts, including junior Bryce Davis, the team’s lone returning captain.

“Bryce Davis is our only returning team captain and state placed from last year and is coming into this season already ranked in state,” Mahugh said.

Two more juniors, Jacob Klauder and Jack Canada, also bring state-tournament experience back into the fold.

“Jacob Klauder and Jack Canada were state participants last year and they are looking good this year as well as freshman Trent Seitters,” Mahugh said. “I’m expecting big things from those three boys also.”

On the girls’ side, sophomore Haidyn Sackman returns after a breakthrough season and enters the winter already within the state rankings.

“Sophomore Haidyn Sackman is also a returning state participant that is coming into this season ranked in the state for her weight class,” Mahugh said.

Colville will again compete in a compact league, presenting limited home opportunities for fans to see the team locally.

“We have a smaller, four-team league again this year, so we will only have two home duals,” Mahugh said. “But we will be heading to a lot of tournaments this year and get good opportunities to see tough competition.”

With returning talent, a fuller lineup, and a schedule built for growth, Mahugh said the Crimson Hawks expect to be tested as they chase another strong postseason showing.
