Hills-Beaver Creek High School seventh-grader Kerry Fink played a role in helping the Luverne-Hills-Beaver Creek-Ellsworth wrestling team pick up its first Southwest Conference win of the season in Marshall Saturday.
Fink, L-H-BC-E's 103-pounder, won his match during what turned out to be a 43-30 Cardinal victory over the Tigers.
Fink opened the duel by recording a 14-8 decision victory over Marshall's Nate Boerboom.
The 3-0 lead provided by Fink's win set the stage for L-H-BC-E's first SWC victory in four tries.
The Cardinals were scheduled to wrestle in Adrian Tuesday, but that match was postponed. L-H-BC-E will take a 2-12-1 record into a home match against Redwood Valley tomorrow.
