The Chinook Sugarbeeters have been a mainstay at the All-Class State Wrestling Tournament, producing individual and team champions over the years. When State Championship Saturday night concludes at the Metra in 2012, the Sugarbeeters will likely have a new 4-time State Champion. Benjamin Stroh has a career high school record of 150-2, with 141 consecutive wins and 95 straight pins (as of this posting). He has also recently been named the 44th Toughest Wrestler in the Country (all weight classes) by InterMat Wrestling. We caught up with the University of Wyoming-bound Stroh in our latest Sports Xtra Spotlight.

MTN: If there were one singer/band you could prevent from making any more music, who would it be and why?
STROH: "One thing I've learned from wrestling is that you only worry about things I have control over. Since I don't have any control of this issue, I really don't have an opinion on this subject."

MTN: What is your favorite video game of all time? Which game are you the best at?
STROH: "My favorite video game is "Blitz the League" for the original X-Box. I am best at "Flat Out" for the original X-Box."

MTN: Fill in the blank: The Chinook Sugarbeeters locker room smells like_____?
STROH: "Champions in the Making!"

MTN: You are in charge of creating a list of the 50 Most Beautiful Women in the World, who falls in at number one?
STROH: "Carrie Underwood - except that she is a vegetarian and that would never fly at our house!

MTN: What is a fad that should never make a comeback?
STROH: "Body Piercing and Tattoos."

MTN: Who is the one person (past or present) you would love to be interviewed by?
STROH: "Sylvester Stallone."

MTN: You are an All-State athlete in football and wrestling, which sport would you consider your WORST? Why?
STROH: "I don't know about those two sports, but I can tell you that I can't swim worth a darn!"

MTN: Four prep wrestlers (including yourself) are aiming for a 4th State Championship at this year's All-Class Tournament, which of the other three are you most excited to watch? Prediction on who will be the first to win (depending on your guess where the championship matches will start) and become the 20th wrestler in Montana history with four titles?
STROH: "I am really excited to watch all three of the other wrestlers going for their 4th state championship. I am great friends with all of them and wish them the best. Zeiger and Mendenhall will be wrestling at the same time so that will be very exciting. Schlosser is a great guy and I love to watch his style of wrestling which is very different from mine because he is so much lighter than I am.
It's just luck of the draw which one of us gets to wrestle first. I do believe there will be 4 new 4-timers added to the list, however."

MTN: Who will win Super Bowl XLVI? Patriots or Giants? Score prediction?
STROH: "The Giants will win by a score of 24-17."
