THE WRECKING CREW: Chewelah wrestlers have many ranked grapplers going into 2018. (Brandon Hansen photo)

Already a power in the 1As, Cougar wrestlers face new foes…

The wrestling team grew to 21 grapplers on Monday when Coach Tim Slater welcomed the football players to workouts. Over the next couple of weeks, he will slim them down from their football weights to their scale weights, and it will be interesting to see the spread of the early season lineup for the Cougars.

“We have 17 boys and four girls on the team,” Slater said. “There are seven seniors, four juniors, four sophomores, and six freshmen. Our numbers doubled on Monday. It was great to finally have everybody back. The football players came in a little banged up, so I took it easy on them the first day, but that will change over the next couple of days. They need to get in 10 workouts in order to compete. Usually, that is easy to do, but with an extended football season they have to be at every practice if they want to wrestle at Deer Park.

“Right now, we have wrestlers in bunches as far as their beginning weights are concerned. Over the next few weeks, they will spread out. We have no boys in the lower weight classes, so the girls will fill those weights for us. We are still looking for a 106-pounder.” More
