CPHS Wrestling: Sandites win Will Rogers Tournament with three champions

Braden Dahl and two other Sandites brought home gold from the Will Rogers Tournament.

The Sand Springs Junior Varsity Wrestling Team took first place this past weekend at the Morey Villareal Memorial Tournament. The Sandites sent seven to the finals and crowned three champions at Will Rogers High School.

The tournament featured nineteen teams, including eleven varsity programs, and the Sand Springs junior varsity bested all of them. The loaded Sandite roster even had enough talent to send a second JV team, which placed twelfth.

Dylan Luker won the 113-pound bracket and pinned all three of his opponents, including teammate KJ Clark who took second. Caleb Phillips placed first at 138 pounds with three falls, and Braden Dahl won at 160 with two falls.

Colton Luker came in Runner-Up at 106 pounds, picking up two first-period falls before going down in the finals. Nick Huelsenbeck placed second at 126 with one fall, and Joseph Mattison placed second at 132 with two pins.

Santana Naugle placed third at 182 and Thomas Naugle placed fourth with two pins. Sango Whitehorn placed fourth at 195, and Justin Smith placed sixth at 220 with one pin apiece. Ryder Barnes placed fifth at 120 with two falls, and had the fastest Sandite pin of the weekend in only thirteen seconds.

Javon Querns was the only Sandite to record a technical fall, and placed sixth at 106.
