IOWA CITY - The Bloodhounds knocked off 6th-ranked Iowa City West, and senior Emmett Kruse recorded a win over Norwalk's 12th-ranked Trenton Harper, to highlight the Hounds' 1-2 day at the Lepic Duals Saturday.

The Hounds knocked off West when Daniel Sokolik iced the match with a :47 pin over West's Evan Anderson at 220 lbs. to seal the win 40-35.

But Fort Madison came up short against Pleasant Valley 47-30 and Norwalk 53-30 in its other two matches of the day.

Against Iowa City West, Logan Pennock scored a pin over Thomas Pierce at 120 lbs. followed by Emmett Kruse's major decision over Gordey Gambrall, 9-0. The Hounds' Henry Wiseman went up against Class 3A No. 10 Kyler Scranton suffering a pin at 3:42 at 132 and 4th-ranked Grant O'Dell scored a quick pin over Caleb Bolander at 1:03.

Aidan Pennock stopped the momentum with a quick 1:06 pin of Jack Clark at 145, but then No. 10 Gavin Wiseman ran up against arguably the best wrestler at 152 in the state in Hunter Garvin. Wiseman held up until the 3rd period where Garvin recorded a tech fall at 25-10.

Sophomore Teague Smith, who cracked the top 12 this week at 160, took on 5th-ranked Kael Scranton suffering a 9-2 decision. Jakob McGowan who cracked the top 11 at 182 this week, lost all three of his matches Saturday including a tough 11-10 decision to Justin Avila at 170.

Landon Rudd who's having a nice second half of the season, scored a pin over Drake Davis at 4:38. Ike Thacher, who won all three of his matches on the day, pinned West's Luke Ernst 48 seconds into the second period, before Sokolik wrapped it up with his pin at 220.

Against Pleasant Valley, the Hounds got wins from Logan Pennock, Gavin Wiseman, Smith, Thacher, and Sokolik. McGowan suffered an 8-1 decision to 11th-ranked Caden McDermott, and Aiden Pennock lost in the first round to 9th-ranked Jack Miller.

A tough Norwalk squad with five state-ranked wrestlers, including No. 2 Hunter Blomgren at 220, also held the Hounds to 30 points. Sokolik fought off Blomgren until the middle of the third round where the Hound eventually suffered a 17-2 tech fall.

Kruse got one of his biggest wins of the year when he scored a fall in the 3rd period over 12th-ranked Trenton Harper at 126. Aidan Pennock also scored a 3rd-period pin at 145. Gavin Wiseman and Smith added pins to get Fort Madison on the right track, but McGowan and Landon Rudd would both suffer pins, before Thacher scored a fall at :35 to round out the team scoring for the Hounds.
