CENTERVILLE - Bloodhound freshman Dayton Davis had a season high 14 and junior Jayden Fedler poured in 18 as the Hounds got back to winning ways with a 61-52 win over Centerville on Saturday evening.

Davis was averaging just over five points coming into the contest, with a previous high of 13 against Keokuk. Fedler led the Hounds in that game with 19.

After taking a 15-10 advantage, in which Head Coach Ryan Wilson rotated in eight different players, the two teams traded buckets for the better part of the 2nd period until the Bloodhounds went on 8-3 run in the final two minutes to take a 34-22 lead going into the locker room.

Seven different Hounds scored in the first half led by junior Michael Mosena who came off the bench in the first quarter. Mosena, and senior Brandon Keester, who had six in the first half were held scoreless in the second half. But Davis and senior Logan Rashid would pick things up in the second half.

Centerville would cut into the lead with a 16-10 third quarter advantage. Rashid would put up five in the third period and Davis would connect on a 3-ball, but other than the Hounds were quiet from the field.

Starting the fourth period, Fedler was able to get some looks inside and converted four baskets inside the lane. Davis would get a bucket too, but the rest of the Hounds points in the period would come on free throws as the Hounds went to the line 12 times in the period as Centerville began to foul after closing the gap to four at 51-47 with less than three minutes left in the game.

Fort Madison would convert 7-of-12 free throws in the period to help ice the game.

Rashid finished with 11 points, Mosena added eight points and Keester had six with Burgher and Parker Denning each finishing with two points on the night.

Sophomores Myles Clawson and Brady Kauzlarich led Centerville with 17 points each.

The Hounds move to 2-3 on the season and face Danville at home on Thursday night. They have Burlington Notre-Dame on the road Saturday night before revving up conference play against Washington on Tuesday at home.
