MOUNT MARKHAM – Surrendering essentially 24 team points in every single dual meet they wrestle – due to holes in the lineup – Sherburne-Earlville did not let this slow them down as they rolled over their competition this past weekend for a 5-0 first place finish at the Mustang Duals.

With wins over Otselic Valley, Holland-Patent's A and B team, Poland, and a revenge win over Mount Markham, the Marauders found ways to persevere through the adversity of the weekend to win the eight team dual meet tournament.

“We were 5-0 on the weekend, but you have to remember we are giving up 24 points every match to forfeits

Round 1: Sherburne-Earlville took on fellow Chenango County team Otselic Valley in what proved to be a lopsided matchup – with the Marauders defeated the OV Vikings by a score of 48-18. In the early goings of the dual, OV and S-E actually exchanged blows – S-E's Jason Price at 113 pounds, grabbed an early victory over Gordon Marshall by pin at 3:13 taking the early score to 6-6. Following the tie, the Vikings snagged another victory when Micah Lyon pinned Joe Straight in just :46 at 120 pounds for the 12-6 lead over S-E. Barring the one additional forfeit surrendered from S-E at 138 pounds, the Marauders then proceeded to win seven of the last eight matches – with six of the seven coming by way of pins. Earning pins in the dual were S-E's Mike Doeberl 126, Jordan Zimmerman 145, Myrick Elrod 152, Bailey Walzer 160, Adam Aldrich 170, Colby Spavin 220, and Walter Kiehn 285.
