Hawks split duals with CMB, North Polk

JEWELL — Making its home debut this season, the South Hamilton wrestling team split Heart of Iowa Conference duals with Collins-Maxwell-Baxter and North Polk here last night.

The Hawks pulled out three victories on the mat and accrued 24 points from six forfeits in a 36-24 victory over CMB. But facing a more potent lineup, South Hamilton was unable to hang with North Polk in a 54-24 loss.

South Hamilton claimed 11 victories in the two duals, but six of them came from forfeits.

Keaton Hetland, a junior who is ranked No. 9 (Class 1A) at 126 pounds by The Predicament, kept his unbeaten season intact with a pair of falls at 132 for the Hawks. He stuck CMB’s Tate Ewing and then needed just 1 minute, 47 seconds to dispense the Comets’ Logan Englbretson.

Now 12-0, Hetland has piled up seven falls and one tech fall. Ten of his victories have included bonus points.

Luke Peters, South Hamilton’s senior 160-pounder, improved to 11-1 with two more triumphs. He withstood a tough 2-0 win over CMB’s Evan Bianchi and stuck North Polk’s Josiah Delavois in 1:12.

Drake Thompson (145) was the only other Hawk to claim a win on the mat. He dominated CMB’s Andrew Esqueda, 9-2.

Noah Lutter (170) earned a pair of forfeit wins, while Jamie Hildreth (113), Nathaniel Laube (182), Zach Larson (220) and Jacob Kooker (285) all claimed one.

South Hamilton will head just a few miles down the road to Story City on Saturday to take part in the Jim Kinyon Norseman Invitational.
