Jackson wrestlers edge Farmington in wrestling dual

Wednesday, January 30, 2008
The Jackson wrestling team remained perfect in dual matches and gained a measure of revenge by edging SEMO Conference tournament champion Farmington 37-34 on Tuesday night in Jackson.

"It seems like we always have some great matchups with Farmington," Jackson coach Steve Wachter said. "It was a great effort by us, it was a great effort by them. Just a typical match with Farmington."

Jackson's Blake Peiffer reversed the decision in the 215-pound matchup, winning a 3-2 decision against unbeaten Kendall May to propel the Indians.

"That was a great win for Blake against an athlete like Kendall May," Wachter said.

Heavyweight Jacob Bullinger finished off the win for Jackson by pinning Josh Vaughn in 3:02.

The Indians improved to 7-0 with wins also from Clay Rouse at 112, Josh Scott by forfeit at 119, Levi Hobeck at 125, Jamie Schumacher at 152 and Justin Miller at 160.
