only action of the week, Fort Hays State wrestling senior <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5381">Brandon Ball</a>
 was named the MIAA Wrestler of the Week on Tuesday. The Great
 Bend native is the third Tiger wrestler to earn the honor this 
season.
Ball, the No. 2-ranked wrestler in Division II at 141 pounds, stayed 
perfect on the season with a 6-0 decision over No. 8 Pete Kuster of 
Drury. The win helped propel the Tigers to a 33-13 win over the Panthers
 on Friday (Feb. 7). Ball is now 12-0 on the season and 126-21 in his 
storied career at FHSU.
It is the third time Ball has earned the weekly conference award. He was
 also named league wrestler of the week after the Bob Smith Open during 
his sophomore (12/5/17) and junior seasons (12/4/18).
Ball joins <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5388">Jordan Davis</a> and <a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5387">A.J. Cooper</a>
 as recipients of the award during the 2019-20 season. Davis and Cooper 
both received the honor in November (Davis 11/13/19, Cooper 11/26/19).
The No. 22 Tigers wrap up their regular season home schedule this week 
when they host third-ranked Nebraska-Kearney on Thursday (Feb. 13).
