Revenge is on the minds of the Washington boys’ soccer team tonight when they try to take another step in the class 2A playoffs with a third meeting against Fort Madison. 

The Southeast Conference champion Bloodhounds narrowly got by the Demons in the regular season by 3-1 and 2-1 scores and have been a thorn in their side winning the last seven matchups. Fort Madison sits at 13-5 overall and 10-0 in the league with Mitchell Pothitakis providing a lot of their offense. The senior ranks first in the conference with 26 goals and 22 assists. They handled Mount Pleasant in the first round last week by an 8-0 count. The Demons are 12-4 and finished 7-3 in the league. They had little trouble against Keokuk winning 10-0 in the playoff opener. The defense has allowed just 14 goals all season with Will Gilchrist-Brock recording 43 saves. A total of 10 players have scored at least five times led by Fredy Aguilar with 12. The winner gets the victor between Pella (15-2) and Oskaloosa (11-6) on Wednesday. 

Two wins separate the Demons from a state bid and the action kicks off tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Baxter Sports Complex in Fort Madison.
