The Fulton Hornets wrestling team stayed perfect in the North Central Missouri Conference behind plenty of pins.
Fulton prevailed by pin in eight weight classes as the Hornets easily handled Hannibal in a 66-17 NCMC romp Thursday night at Roger D. Davis Gymnasium.
Posting victories by pin for Fulton (12-1, 2-0 NCMC) were seniors Josh McClure (145 pounds), Zach Benner (220), Trenton Clines (152), Clayton Bristol (285), Andy Baysinger (160) and Kobe Kaminski (195), junior Luke Berrey (170) and sophomore Jacob Kern (132).
