Hound wrestlers take down Fairfield

Posted

BY PCC STAFF

FORT MADISON - The Fort Madison Bloodhounds surrendered just three losses in a 61-18 win over the Fairfield Trojans on Tuesday night's Senior Night in a makeup dual held at the Fort Madison Middle School.

Nathan Steffensmeier started the rout with a pin over Stetson Spees halfway through the second period. Fairfield's Zach Barnes got the best of Will Larson with a fall in the first period, but the Hounds' Aaron Steffensmeier put the Hounds right back on top with a pin over Peyton Cline at the 1:40 mark in period 1. Bryce Britton wrestled at 152, where 4th-ranked Harlan Steffensmeier usually wrestles. Britton scored a pin at 1:16 to hold the weight class for Fort Madison and then Steffensmeier came in at 160 and recorded a very quick :40 pin for his 148th career win to tie Russell Weakley for most wins in FMHS history.

Steffensmeier will try to take sole possession of that record when the Hounds host Kirksville and Centerville Thursday night in Youth Night at the Hound Dome.

Other Hounds recording pins in the win were Austin Haas, Lennon Barker, Alex Lauber, and Dayne Cordray. Ryan Steffensmeier scored a 12-1 major decision at 126 and Elton Kruse won in sudden victory 10-8.
