Dec. 5—WATERTOWN — Mitchell's wrestlers earned two wins and claimed third place at the nine-team Marv Sherrill Dual Tournament Saturday at the Watertown Civic Arena.

In the opening pool portion of the event, Mitchell won both duals, knocking off Yankton 72-9 and Canby (Minn.) 49-23. That sent Mitchell to the Gold Pool round-robin duals with the other opening-round first-place teams and Mitchell went 0-2, falling 43-22 to Watertown and 55-18 to Harrisburg.

At 132 pounds, Brock Sparks finished undefeated for the day, with two decisions, a major decision and a forfeit. Beau Foote was undefeated at 285 pounds with a decision, a 27-second pin and two forfeits, and Jagger Tyler did the same at 145 pounds, with two pins, a decision and a forfeit.

Mitchell's Joe VanOverschelde led the way in the pin category, scoring a pair in 1:48 of total match time in a 3-1 day. Tucker Vilhauer and Brandon Sparks each had two pins on the day as well. Vilhauer finished 3-1 on the day, while Brandon Sparks was 2-0. Spencer Eldeen also won two of his three matches at 106 pounds and benefitted from a forfeit.

Watertown won the Gold Pool and the overall title by virtue of its 2-0 record and a 30-28 win over Harrisburg.

Mitchell (3-2) will participate in its first individual-point-based tournament of the year on Friday, Dec. 10 and Saturday, Dec. 11 at the Rapid City Invitational at The Monument's Summit Arena.
