The old saying "it takes a village to raise a child" is paramount when you consider the support Tegan Nicholas receives from her talented family. From her grandfather Peter Bungate (who is a Hawks legend) to her parents (who are both representative players and coaches) to her two brothers (Ryan and Blake both rep players for the Hawks), Tegan is a player with a wealth of skill and knowledge for someone so young. A real game manager that every coach wants in their team, Tegan has made her mark at the Hawks with her tenacious defence and silky skills with the ball. These skills were rewarded when she was named in the Sydney Scorpions Squad this year after the 2020 Junior State Cup. Her three appearances at Junior State Cup have been a reward for her strong performances in our Hawks club competition where Tegan has led her club side to Grand Final glory. Many good judges can see that this girl has the talent and support to go a long way. Speaking with Tegan, she spoke about her ambition to Play Women's NRL State of Origin, Play NRL Touch and to win a Junior State Cup with the Hawks. Lets hope that she can achieve all three! Combined with her passion for touch, Tegan is also a level 6 gymnast, plays League Tag for Hills Bulls and also goes to the National Championships for OZ Tag. Club President Andrew Goggin said “Tegan is one of those players who loves touch and plays well above her years in maturity. We are not only lucky to have her as a valued member of the Club but we are also lucky to have the support of her entire family. Families like this are what our Club is all about. They are the first to put their hand up and support us and we hope that the family (and Tegan) stays with the Hawks for a long time to come”. Future Hawks stars - Charlotte Richmond, Tegan Nicholas and Ivy-Marie Provan
