/By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief
The #9 Stillwater Pioneers (3-2) might not be the team they were last year, losing seven state qualifiers, including a state champion. But only a fool would discount one of the most consistent annual powerhouses in the state.
There's not a single pushover on that team, and not a single Pioneer gave up a major decision or tech fall.
106 #6 Riley Weir (12-5) received a forfeit for a 6-0 team lead.
113 #7 Michael Ritchey (7-6) defeated Matt Norton by 3-0 decision for a 9-0 team lead.
120 #8 Blake Sargent (13-4) received a forfeit for a 15-0 team lead.
126 #6 Jack Karstetter (11-5) was tied 1-1 with #1 State Runner-Up Andrew Neiman but fell 3-1 in a sudden victory takedown in overtime. Sandites lead 15-3.
132 #1 Daton Fix (15-0) pinned Andrew Biggs in 1:05 for a 21-3 team lead.
