With the victory, Sparta improves to 6-0 on the year in duals and 2-0 overall in the MVC.  Next up for the Spartans is the Harrisonville Christmas Invitational in Harrisonville, MO on December 17th and 18th.  At this tournament, the Spartans are guaranteed 10 matches so it’s a great opportunity to get a lot of wrestling in before the holidays.  The JV will be in action in a tournament for the first time since December 4th as they travel to Melrose-Mindoro for a tournament.  Their tournament last weekend in Marshfield was cancelled due to the weather.

We will have periodic updates from Harrisonville as well as Melrose-Mindoro so keep checking back here over the course of the week for updates on how the Spartans are doing.

Over the weekend, the Sparta Middle School wrestling team competed at the Marshfield Tournament where they captured seven individual titles while going 33-23 overall on the day.  More details can be found by visiting the Middle School Wrestling page.

For the first time in a few years, Tomah has dropped from the top spot of the Coulee Region Power Rankings.  Tomah drops to No. 4 after finishing behind Viroqua and just ahead of Reedsburg–a team the Spartans dominated earlier this year at Reedsburg’s own invitational.  With these latest developments, Sparta moves back into the top spot for the first time since 2003-04.  Check out the new Power Rankings to the right.

We will be posting videos of a few different matches from the Holmen dual on Wednesday.  Be sure to check back here to watch the Spartans in action.

Tomorrow is the home dual against La Crosse Logan.  We should have a live blog running for the dual and after the match is over, a photo gallery of both the JV and Varsity matches.  For once, there is not a blizzard or Highway 53 is not covered in an inch of ice making it possible for me to make it down for a dual.  Be sure to check back here tomorrow evening for live blog updating.  The live blog is scheduled to start sometime between 715 and 730pm.
