MITCHELL — The Mitchell High School boys tennis season started indoors on Thursday afternoon in Yankton, with the host Bucks earning a 7-2 dual victory at the Easton Archery Complex.
Yankton won the top five flights of singles competition on Thursday, although not without some lengthy matches. At No. 4 singles, Yankton’s Miles Krajewski pulled out a 7-6(9), 3-6, 10-4 victory over Mitchell’s Drake Jerke, while Jack Pederson won for the Bucks at No. 5 singles over Matthew Mauszycki by a score of 3-6, 6-4, 13-11. Nathan Wagner won the Kernels’ lone singles triumph, a 6-2, 6-3 win over Ethan Marsh at No. 6 singles.
In doubles, Sutton Thompson and Drake Jerke won at the No. 2 flight 6-4, 6-3 over Christopher Rockne and Jack Pederson. The Bucks won at No. 1 doubles with the team of Zachary Briggs and Harrison Krajewski winning 6-7(6), 6-1 and 10-8 over Luke Jerke and Jager Juracek, and also pulled out a three-set win over Matthew Mauszycki and Zach Fuhrer at No. 3 doubles, with Miles Krajewski and Ethan Marsh winning for Yankton.
Mitchell (0-1) is tentatively scheduled to travel to Pierre on April 4 for a triangular with the host Governors and Rapid City Central but that may not occur due to the weather. The Kernels’ home opener on April 6 against St. Thomas More at Hitchcock Park has already been canceled, with the next possible match day on the schedule being April 11 at Brookings.
