The Chinook Sugarbeeter wrestling team finds itself under new leadership for the first time in three decades. Long time Co-Head Coaches Perry Miller and Adam Tilleman stepped down this past spring and have turned over the reins to one of the schools most decorated alums.

Four time State B/C Champion and MS-Northern NAIA National Champion Ben Stroh is the new Head Coach of the Sugarbeeters. Stroh is assisted in the wrestling room by Class of 2016 Chinook High Graduate Kenny Pruttis and his Dad, long time 'Beeter Assistant Robin Stroh.

The 'Beeters have 10 student athletes out this season beginning with Freshman Grace Buck, Listat Pope and Gage Chapman wrestling at 113 lbs. Senior Shay Hauer has hung up her manager duties and suited up to compete in the girls 126 pound weight class.

Sophomore Ryley Hofeldt turned in a solid freshman season and competed well at the first ever Girls All-Class Wrestling State Tournament.

Lane Snider will wrestle at 145 pounds, senior Drake Berreth returns to wrestle at 152 pounds. Senior Lincoln Reich will wrestle at 160 pounds this winter. Junior Tyler Schoen will compete at 182 pounds and senior Wyatt Dunbar rounds out the roster weighing in at 285.

This past Friday and Saturday the 'Beeters were in Havre getting their season started with some stiff competition.

Dunbar turned in an outstanding performance over the weekend. Friday he won his three matches by decision, forfeit and pin to set him up perfect Saturday morning.

Dunbar wrestled extremely well once again, winning the 285 pound Championship. He began the day with a pin of Cameron Baker (Fergus) in 0:12. He then followed that with a pin in the semifinal of Carson Lotan (Fergus) in 1:08. In the Championship match Dunbar pinned Cut Bank's Jeremy Gallagher in 4:15 to claim the title.
