The
return to the lineup of veterans Logan Hall and Matt Mitchell provided
the spark in Stanley County's 45-26 win in a wrestling dual with
Gettysburg at Parkview Gym Thursday.

Hall, a sophomore wrestling at 140 pounds, needed only 21 seconds to pin
the Battlers' Trev Staman. Mitchell was nearly as fast in his season
debut as he got the pin against Eugene Bryant in just 38 seconds in the
160-pound match.
'They came ready to wrestle and looked very good," said coach Craig
Heller, whose team improves to 3-1 in duals.
Stanley County was wrestling at a man disadvantage as they had to leave
two spots open due to wrestlers failing to make weight. When Mitchell
entered the mat, the Buffs trailed 26-21 with four matches remaining.
The Buffs ended up finishing with four pins. The Johnson brothers, Andy
and Gerad, ended their matches early at 171 and 189 pounds respectively
to clinch the win.
Bryan Myers provided frosting on the victory when he laid out Chris Harr
in the heavyweight battle that took only 25 seconds. Harr had beaten
Myers less than a week before at the Stanley County Invitational.
"That was a good win for Bryan," said Heller.
Also picking up wins were Colton Carter at 103 pounds and Tyson Russell
at 125 pounds.
The Buffs are back in action when they compete in the Gregory
Invitational on Saturday. They will get another look at Bon Homme, the
champions of the Stanley County Invitational as well as highly regarded
teams from Miller, ranked No. 5 in the preseason coaches poll and
Wagner, ranked No. 6.
Also competing is eastern power Dakota Valley, who feature defending
state champions in Greg and Jake Cook. Elk Point-Jefferson is another
contending team.
Luke Heller is seeded No. 1 at 130 pounds.
