FC’s Rid Monkeys

On the same night, a couple of Fillmore Central’s squads got off winless streaks of differing proportions.  FCLMC wrestling competed at the Triton Triangular.  Versus the host Cobras, senior Eric Kunz’s pin at 170 stoked the Wolves’ lead to insurmountable levels (36-9) with four weights left.  A 36-33 victory gave FCLMC its first dual meet win since January 24, 2015, a streak of 36 matches.   The monkey is off the back; their will not be third straight winless season.  Austin Moen (106) and Brady Dutton (132) also had pins.  Caden Anderson (138) scored a tech fall (19-4).  Cale Anderson (126) won a major decision (14-5).  Caleb Kunz (145) won via decision (13-6).   FC took won via forfeit at 113 (Orion Sass) and yielded twice (195, 285).  In recent history, FCLMC had nearly always yielded multiple weights to forfeit, resulting in lack of team wins.  They haven’t had a full squad in a number of years.  The Wolves also fell to Cannon Falls, 55-12.  Caden Anderson (138) and Devin Troendle (152) won by pin.  Meanwhile, FC boys basketball (0-4) got this year’s monkey of their back by beating Cotter 57-53.  It was back and forth roughly the first 24 minutes.  FC went ahead early-mid second half, and held on for the win.  Senior Nate Haugerud had a big game (career-high 22 pts, 7-11 FTs, 5 rebs, 4 assists, 6 stls).  Josh Peters (13 pts, 3-8 threes) and Luke Ristau (10 pts) also hit double figures.  FC hit a solid 12 of 18 free throws with just 10 turnovers.
