    Toe to Joe with the Kieffer Twins

    1.       Who is the toughest wrestler you have faced in competition or in the practice room?

     

    Justin: The toughest wrestler, I have to say Brandon Wright. He has such great head pressure and motion. He was very quick, he and I wrestled so much, it made each other very predictable. He made me so much better as a wrestler.

     

    Josh: Beside my brothers Justin and Joe. It is hard but during my 10th. grade I had Mullins twice, Jackson twice, Hawkins in the State Championship. Brandon Nelson, he and I wrestled several times, he always knew what I was going to do before I did it.

    2.       How did you get started wrestling?

     

    Justin: I started wrestling in 4th grade in attempts to become a better football player.

     

    Josh: My dad took us to wrestling practice to make us better open field tacklers in football. My brothers and I just really enjoyed it.

     

    3.       Which of you is better looking and why?

     

    Justin: We both have our good and bad qualities, we are twins.

     

    Josh: Me, I have all the girlfriends. I just let Justin hang out with us.

     

    4.       Do you have any superstitions or rituals you do before a match?

     

    Justin: I always listen to my IPOD, do the same stretches, and touch the mat at start of each match.

    Josh: To many to put on paper. I wear same shoes, headgear for the last three years. Both have seen better days.

     

    5.       How do people tell you guys apart?

     

    Justin: I have blonde hair and Josh has black.

     

    Josh: He is bigger and has blond hair, I have black.

     

    6.       If you didn’t wrestle what other sport would you be dominating?

     

    Justin: Basketball, I played all my life and debated between that and wrestling before my 9th. grade.

     

    Josh: Golf

     

    7.       Describe your first wrestling match ever?

     

    Justin: In 4th grade at Holy Name grade school. All I knew was the half. I used it in the first match and pinned the kid.

     

    Josh: 4th. grade at Holy Name, Coach Louzon was my coach. I recall being very nervous. We were told just go out and take them down, throw the half in.

     

    8.       You’re in the third period in the state finals going for your third title and down by one point with 30 seconds left and on your feet, what move are you going to hit to bring home title?

     

    Justin: Blast Double

     

    Josh: Low single

     

    9.       Who is the most influential person in your life?

     

    Justin: My parents

     

    Josh: I have several, my family, between my parents,grand-parents, all my aunts and uncles and cousins. We are very close.

     

    10.   You vs. Coach Ellis in his prime, who wins and why?

     

    Justin: Ellis, for sure he is an absolute monster on the mat. He beat's up on me now, so I could not even imagine what he was like in his prime. It is an honor to wrestle him now, he is the best IMO, he set the bar.

     

    Josh: Ellis, he is still a beast.
