French’s win leads MHS mat loss to Dowling

Chayton French

WEST DES MOINES — A Dowling Catholic lineup featuring four ranked wrestlers warded off the Marshalltown Bobcats on Thursday night, winning 51-15 in a CIML Iowa Conference dual.

The visiting Bobcats (1-2) managed to knock off one of those ranked opponents, however, as MHS junior Chayton French pinned 10th-ranked Greg Hagan in their 182-pound match. With Dowling having already secured the dual meet victory, French finished off Hagan by fall in 5 minutes, 29 seconds, for the last of four Bobcat wins and the only one by bonus points.

Andy Bitker opened the dual for Marshalltown with a win by decision at 220, defeating Nate Rea 3-0, but the Maroons scored the next eight matches to take a commanding 42-3 lead.

Reese Hageman remained undefeated at 152 with a 5-4 decision over Trevor Schwager, and Brian Trowbridge toppled Tanner Deaton 6-1 at 160 for back-to-back Bobcat wins. French’s pinfall came two matches later.

Five of Dowling’s eight wins came by fall, four of those in the first period, and the Bobcats offered up a pair of forfeits.

Marshalltown is back at it this weekend, scheduled to compete in the Iowa City Regina Invitational at 9 a.m. Saturday.
