Senior Traeton Saint looks to whip his opponent to his back en route to a 14-3 major decision.

The Prairie du Chien wrestling team continued their superb season on Saturday, March 7 with a trip to the UW-Fieldhouse and a semifinal match-up with GET/Melrose-Mindoro. 

On the season, the Blackhawks went 20-2 in duals and were making their first State Wrestling appearance in program history as a team. In what would be a dual for the ages, PDC would come up just short of wrestling in the finals by one point. 

The dual would start at 132#, where Matt Rogge would quickly get the PDC faithful on their feet. Rogge would secure a quick takedown and lock his opponent up in an outside cradle to collect a first period fall. 

At 138#, Kurt Wall wrestled a great match against an opponent who was a state place winner this year. Unfortunately, with the match looking to be a decision for GET, Wall was thrown in the last 10 seconds and pinned. 

At 145#, Brogan Brewer was pinned in the second period.

At 152#, Chase Fisher was also pinned in the second period to put GET up 18-6. 

At 160#, Traeton Saint would win by major decision, 12-3, behind four takedowns and near fall points. 

At 170#, Bradyn Saint would take on a state runner up, who was no match for Saint. Saint would secure a technical fall in the third period with a score of 18-3. Saint did this with three takedowns and three different near fall combinations. 

At 182#, Ben Riter wrestled a state place winner. Riter would battle a full six minutes and lose by major decision 17-4. 

At 195#, State Champion Tyler Hannah wasted little time and decked his opponent in just 0:37. 

At 220#, Colten Wall would take on a state place winner and fight until the end, but come up short 9-4. 

At 285#, Jerrod Osterkamp would wrestle a state place winner and also wrestle very hard, but come up on the short end, 4-0. 

At 106#, Rhett Koenig would lock horns with a state qualifier and pin him with a near side cradle in period two. 

At 113#, Ryder Koenig would toe the line in a match that went the distance, but lose by score of 10-7. 

At 120#, Maddox Cejka would wrestle a state place winner and wrestle an excellent match, but come up short 11-7. 

GET forfeited to Luke Kramer at 126#. 

Final score: GET/MM 34, PDC 33. 

The PDC wrestlers expressed their great appreciation for all of the fans for their support throughout the season. It was on display again on Saturday at the Fieldhouse. The team truly believes they have the best fans in the state, win or lose!
