YANKTON \u2014 For the first time since 2020, the Mitchell High School boys golf team left Fox Run Golf Course without the Marchand Cup in its possession.<\/p>\n
Instead, Yankton won 13 matches outright and retained the cup with a 17-7 victory over the Kernels on Thursday at Fox Run.<\/p>\n
Mitchell had won four Marchand Cup meetings in a row from 2021-24, including two wins at Fox Run, before the Bucks won at Lakeview in 2025. The Kernels still lead the all-time series, which began in 2015, 7-5.<\/p>\n
The Ryder Cup-style event featured three different match formats. Four-ball best-ball matches were played for the first six holes; holes 7-12 were a two-player scramble; and holes 13-18 were individual match play. The tournament is named in memory of Yankton High School graduate and former Mitchell golf coach Rob Marchand, who died in 2014.<\/p>\n
Ian Weber and Parker Rauscher grabbed a point for MHS in the four-ball best-ball matches, winning 2-and-1 against Easton Schelhaas and Max Dobler. Yankton won two matches, and the other three were all square after six holes.<\/p>\n
The Bucks separated themselves in the two-player scramble, winning five of the six matchups. Asher Dannenbring and Jordan Meyerink were all square with Eli Larson and Kai Cody, earning Mitchell\u2019s lone half-point. Yankton led 9-3 entering individual match play.<\/p>\n
Rauscher and Griffin Lyle picked up match play victories for the Kernels. Rauscher defeated Dobler, 2-and-1, ending as the team leader in scoring with 2.5 points. Meanwhile, Gillen defeated Conner Mitzel, 3-and-1. Dannenbring, Meyerink, Eli Konrad and Penn Long were all square in their pairings. Yankton won six matches and had an 8-4 edge in match play format scoring.<\/p>\n
Triple winners for the Bucks were Gus Sprakel, Ethan Rippe and Max Weisenburger. Rippe and Weisenburger were partners for the first two competitions.<\/p>\n
The Class AA boys golf championship meet is set for Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 5-6, at Lee Park Golf Course in Aberdeen.<\/p>\n
