Head Coach, Ben Stroh was very pleased with how hard the Beeters competed to start the season. "This team has been fun. They are completely different from any other team I have coached so far. The team showed up for the season, wanting to work hard and learn. Their excitement for the season really showed in havre. They went out and wrestled hard with a lot of effort. It was their first competition for the season, so we still have a lot of little things to fix, technically speaking. However, we can coach that. The mindset of wrestling hard all 6 minutes is what we focused on seeing this weekend, and that is what the team gave us coaches. That attitude is something very hard to coach, and these kids already have it. That makes myself and the rest of my coaching staff very excited about moving forward into the season and watching these kids continue to develop.
