Jackson wrestlers rout Ste. Gen

Blake Peiffer has made the adjustment.

Dropping down from heavyweight to 215 pounds, the senior scored a 6-3 decision against Ste. Genevieve's Jake Gegg as part of Jackson's dual meet win against the visiting Dragons on Tuesday night.

Peiffer, a Class 4 state qualifier last year in that weight class, turned Gegg for a three-point near-fall late in the match for the margin of victory.

Gegg, a Class 2 state qualifier at 189 last year, had a top-four finish in the recent 16-team Tiger Classic hosted by Central.

"Jake Gegg is a very good wrestler for them," Jackson coach Steve Wachter said. "That was a really good match. There were some really outstanding matches, especially through middle weights."

Jackson won all but three matches on the night en route to a 57-15 victory. The Indians improved to 4-0 in dual meets this season.

The Indians recorded some quick pins, with Clay Rouse pinning Steven Basler in 28 seconds in the 112-pound weight division, and Justin Darnell pinning Aaron Roth in 21 seconds.

Ste. Genevieve 64, Central 57, 2OT

The Tigers rallied from a 20-point second-half deficit to force overtime, but they couldn't pull out the victory.
