Kueter time!!!

 

[MitchLL]

Lots of positive stuff tonite...first period takedowns, no stalling points/warnings, and mostly good defense.

 

[Multi-Hawk]

Kueter!

 

[WildTurk]

Kueter weighed in at 228 they said

 

[Valholl]

To be fair, Joles was up to almost 230 last year wrestling heavy. He’s as big of a 197 as you’ll find.

Salazar similar at 184 and Skillings has been a 184 every other year. Our upper guys are cutting a lot.

I wondered if this was my buddy from Bricelyn but I don't think he knows how to upload images. But if you've ever been to TJ's in Frost, LMK.

 

[js8793]

whatever happens, i’m sure NOBODY is going to overreact.

 

[WildTurk]

Kueter looks so lean. Plenty of room to fill out.

 

[andrewrayhons]

Kueter time! I was here when he started his undefeated college career!

 

[Valholl]

Kueter looks like he could go at 184

Why take bottom?!?

[WildTurk]

Nice reversal Ben!

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Definately say sit him this year and have him gain 20-30 lbs

 

[Sett1997]

Good job Ben, he's definitely not ready. Gas tank and too undersized.

[WildTurk]

Wow. Ben hangs on. He was definitely gassing some. Nerves might have played a part.

 

[js8793]

i for one am shocked you can’t get into wrestling shape in two weeks

 

[Bucky712]

Ben looked completely gassed, legs were gone. Awesome win.

 

[WildTurk]

Full feed Ben! Hit those weights!

 

[MitchLL]

As we saw with the fat kid from Nebraska, gonna take a little time to get in wrestling shape.

That's why he needs to be "the guy" going forward.

 

[bdcolt45er]

Wow. Ben hangs on. He was definitely gassing some. Nerves might have played a part.

He was dead legged after the 1st period. Gotta build the tank up.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Wow. Ben hangs on. He was definitely gassing some. Nerves might have played a part.

This. Those nerves and adrenaline burn you.

Build that gas tank. He'll still be undersized this year, but roll with him. With football you may not get that 5th year

 

[Sett1997]

Who was scared besides me? Lol
👀👀
Really glad when the clock hit zero.

 

[Valholl]

Brands
Everyone excited for Ben except Ben
Drake gave up a TD but didn't hang his head.
Biggest thing is Flat
Grace trying to be positive and BRands injects, "Ironside - what do you got?"

 

[MAGAman]

He was dead legged after the 1st period. Gotta build the tank up.

So much better than hill though. He needs matches and room time. Odds are we dont get him 4 yrs so use him while we got him

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

This dual gave me aids then Keuter won and now I don't have aids.

 

[Iron Doc]

Once again, thanks to the legendary Valholl for the PBP!

 

[Valholl]

3 pt takedown great for bonus
but also
talk about Kale Peteresen
"he let the guy get his hands locked and gave up two td
threw your legs back
Fundamentals and basics"
Lots of brownie crumbs and Tom may have gotten the last brownie.

 

[Sett1997]

So much better than hill though. He needs matches and room time. Odds are we dont get him 4 yrs so use him while we got him

Serious question, can Ben beat Hill? I'd be shocked if he could at this point.

 

[HawkMachine]

This. Those nerves and adrenaline burn you.

Hell I remember the first time Mark Hall wrestled in Carver, said he couldn’t feel his legs he was so nervous.

 

[WildTurk]

Serious question, can Ben beat Hill? I'd be shocked if he could at this point.

"Shocked"? Really?

 

[Hawks...#1]

Ben is the future but I think hes fodder for anyone in the top 12 this year, wrestle him a few times, well see you next year at 240

 

[Sett1997]

"Shocked"? Really?

I don't know. That's why I asked.
How do you compare them?

 

[MAGAman]

"Shocked"? Really?

Not even close

 

[AFHawk86]

“It doesn’t have to be close.”

- Ironside

 

[TarpHawk]

Entertaining dual. Left points on the board. Ayala looked good. Teske will be the guy at 133 (we already knew that, but good to see Petersen get the nod here as Teske's punishment). Good to see Kueter, even though he wasn't quite ready for primetime.

 

[DeangeloVickers]

Serious question, can Ben beat Hill? I'd be shocked if he could at this point.

Pretty sure the guy Ben just beat defeated hill at soldier salute?

 

[Cali_Nittany]

This dual gave me aids then Keuter won and now I don't have aids.

I don't think Teske has won the spot yet. Atleast I hope not.
Not having Brands/Assad and Cassioppi really does hurt this year. Kueter is not quite ready and 184 is a big hole
