Hawks drop home duals to Ogden, Gilbert and Nevada

Hetland, Peters a combined 6-0 with three falls

JEWELL — In its final tune-up prior to Saturday’s Heart of Iowa Conference tournament, the South Hamilton wrestling team was unable to secure a dual win when four teams got together here last night.

With five open weights in all three battles, the Hawks fell to non-conference foe Ogden, 42-27, before they dropped HOIC tussles to Gilbert, 60-21, and Nevada, 42-37.

Seven of South Hamilton’s grapplers notched at least one victory either on the mat or via forfeit and five finished with winning records.

Eighth-ranked (Class 1A) 126-pounder Keaton Hetland and two-time state qualifier Luke Peters (160) turned in top-notch performances with three wins each. Noah Lutter (170) decked a pair of foes, while Jamie Hildreth (120/126) and Zach Larson (220) both picked up two forfeit victories.

Hetland, who competed at both 126 and 132, was pushed for six minutes en route to decision wins over Ogden’s Austin Flynn, 8-3, and Gilbert’s Stephen Shuka, 5-2. His final bout of the night lasted just 17 seconds, as he put Nevada’s Noah Nusbaum on his back just moments after the whistle and got the fall.

Peters, who moved past 20 wins on the season despite a torn ACL in his right knee that won’t be operated on until late February, didn’t waste much energy when he stepped onto the mat. He flattened Ogden’s Garrett Bales in 1:08 and then needed just 32 seconds to turn out the lights on Nevada’s Mark Caton. Peters accepted a walkover win against Gilbert.

Lutter pinned the Bulldogs’ Blake Haub in 4:40 and the Cubs’ Jay Calentine in 1:28.

Michael Delegard (138) and Cole Ellis (152) both notched one win on the mat for the Hawks. Delegard took out Gilbert’s Cody Chipman by fall in 3:59, while Ellis controlled Nevada’s Luke Ferguson for six minutes on his way to a 7-0 decision.
