That should be an outstanding match up! My guess is that may even be best match! Should be exciting!

Why would this be a good match? Newberg should be a prohibitive favorite due to the following:

1. Defending state champion at a higher weight classification

2. Everyone knows that a state champion in D1 is much more impressive than a D2 Champion

3. It has been reported that Hooker certified at 145# but has been wrestling 160# to fill a gap and help his team. He is now going up to 170# to test his ability against Newberg.

4. Newberg will be bigger, faster & stronger

5. Has signed with Nebraska

6. Is ranked 12th in the nation at 170# and Hooker is not ranked at any weight.

 

While I admire Mr. Hooker for wanting a challenge this could be a big injury risk with the bigger, faster, stronger Newberg. I ask you what chance does Hooker really have to win?

ok, Ill give you the size factor. its quite impressive Hooker wants to move up for a challenge. As far as everybody knowing d-I is tougher than d-II thats pretty funny. Its not even close when you are talking about the top kids. I bet Hooker gives him all he wants. Ill bet its pretty impressive for someone who should be 145-152. In fact Ill go out on a limb and say its a 2 pt match either way.
