This winter, Mac-Hi began its new wrestling season. The team had a pretty solid amount of people spread out between the different weight classes.
In the beginning of the year, they faced a couple setbacks, such as when the weather caused the team to miss Muilenberg, a large tournament, and stay extra days during the Rollie Lane tournament. However, it was clear sailing once the Pioneers got to the middle of the season and the beginning of the dual meets.
At the duals, the team had a strong start with a win over Ontario. Next, the Pioneers had a strong lead over La Grande but in the end, La Grande pulled off a comeback. Lastly, the Pioneers finished the season with a home dual versus Baker.
Finally, it was time for districts. The Pioneers had a strong showing at districts with Jesse Jones, Riley Chester, Kaden Kilburg, Josh Torres, Spencer Wells, and Donnie Clark taking first, Brandyn Chaney taking second, and Patton Wright taking third.
These Pioneers went on to state, the final tournament of the year. At state Donnie took 6th, Jesse took 5th, Riley took 3rd, and Spencer took 2nd. All in all, every wrestler can agree, this was a great wrestling season that we hope to repeat next year.
