In your opinion who was the best 9 man player then last year?
Hunter Braaten.
I almost feel you should be banned for a week for such a ridiculous comment. Hunter was a great football player led his team to two state championships. The reality is he isnt even close to the same level that Chrest was on. Did u watch any of the State Championship game last year? Wasnt even fair set the Dakota Bowl rushing record by half. Chrest whipped the field with him, the fact he won POY was a joke. Braaten was very good but Chrest was great.
The reality is that Chrest played on a team with much more talent around him than Braaten did. Of course Braaten did not play as well as Chrest did in the championship, how was he suppose to when his team was severely outmatched? If you watched the game closely you would notice that those holes Chrest was running through were HUGE, you could have driven a truck through them. Braaten was lucky if he got to the line without being hit.. he had little to no running lanes at all the entire game. If Braaten played for Cavalier he could have done just as good as Chrest.
Braaten deserved that award. The kid took two average teams and made them the state runner ups.. in both A and 9-Man. Ran for over 300 yards in each of the three playoff games before state. 4 year starter. Holds almost every school record for rushing, passing and tackles. Defiantly not a joke.
One big LIKE!
