CPHS Wrestling: Sandites place eighth at Ram Duals, fall 55-18 to Kansas State Champions

Freshman Christian Forbes was the team’s leading scorer with four pins and a tech fall. His only loss was to a nationally-ranked State Champion.

The Class 6A No. 5 ranked Charles Page High School wrestling team (12-4) has taken a beating this past week and settled for eighth place out of fourteen teams at the Fourth Annual Ram Duals Saturday afternoon in Owasso. The Sandites were four starters short of a healthy roster and fell 55-18 to the defending Kansas 5A State Champions, No. 1 Goddard.

The Lions kicked off the dual with four straight falls. State Qualifier Cayleb Atkins pinned Dakota Taylor (0-7), State Qualifier Nolan Craine pinned Braden Dahl (8-9), State Qualifier Trevor Dopps pinned Chris Kirby (27-9, 49-19), and State Qualifier Cayden Atkins pinned Riley Magee (12-11, 17-16) for a 24-0 lead.

Freshmen were the stars of the show for Sand Springs. All three of the Sandites’ wins came by first-period falls at the hands of freshmen. Kaden Glass (24-8) pinned JD Bridwell in 0:33 to get the Sandites on the board, and Brooks Dudley (8-4) pinned Garrett Mead in 0:51 to make it 24-12. State Qualifier Trent Willert pinned Josh Fincannon (22-16, 36-33) at heavyweight, but Christian Forbes (20-7) responded by pinning Jayden Miller in 1:06.

The Lions won five out of the last six weight classes. State Champion Jason Henschel pinned Brendon Wiseley (24-11, 38-19), State Finalist Lucas Glover pinned Dylan Luker (6-9), and the teams double forfeited 126. Logan Davidson won a 5-4 decision against Blake Jones (18-10), State Qualifier Isaiah Holmes pinned Caleb Phillips (5-15, 7-22), and State Qualifier Jace Fisher won a 12-0 major decision against Preston Medlin (12-17) to conclude the day.

Sand Springs Wrestling will return to action Thursday at home against undefeated No. 7 Jenks (7-0). The Trojans haven’t beaten Sand Springs since 1997, but their program is the strongest it has been in years, setting the stage for what should be a good matchup.
