Several Arlee Warrior wrestlers fared well in competition last weekend. At the Arlee Mixer, Skyler Titsworth (152) won three matches, Colt Crawford (138) along with Demetrix Austin (160) won a pair of matches, while CJ Forgey (152) won a match.
Thereafter, Arlee traveled to the Corvallis Christmas Classic, where Skyler Titsworth (152) took home the top prize when he dropped Isaac DuMontier of Mission/Charlo in the championship.
Warrior head coach Ken Hill noted, “Colt Crawford, Demetrix Austin and Tyrel Thomas all wrestled well, but were eliminated just short of placement rounds.”
Arlee wrestling will have already hosted Florence on Tuesday, then participate in a mixer at Eureka on Friday, Dec. 21, then compete in the Buzz Lucey Tournament on Saturday to close out their December schedule.

At Smith Fields in Whitefish for the 2018 State A boys soccer championship, the Polson Pirates and the Northern A conference champion Bulldogs would put on quite a show in an energetic quest to claim the coveted state A crown last Saturday. This would be just the third foray to the championship match in the history of the Pirate boys’ soccer program, who hoped that the idiomatic expression “third time’s a charm” would play out in Polson’s favor.
