WATERTOWN, S.D. – The Watertown Arrow boys basketball team will open its postseason run Saturday night at home against Mitchell in the SoDak 16.
The Arrows narrowly edged Mitchell 59-55 in overtime on Dec. 16 at the Watertown Civic Arena. Watertown trailed 24-18 at the half but used a 21-point fourth quarter to force the extra frame.
