CPHS Wrestling: Freshman Kaden Glass qualifies for State, places 2nd at Regionals

Charles Page High School freshman Kaden Glass (31-9) settled for second at the OSSAA 6A-East Regional Championship Saturday, but very nearly knocked off the defending two-time State Champion.

He pinned Curtis Fodor in 1:07 and Luis Vega in 1:41 at 195 pounds, then edged out Elijah Tomlin 3-2 in the semifinals. In the finals he took on two time Broken Arrow State Champion Gavin Potter.

Glass scored the only offensive points of the 3-2 overtime loss but Potter got the win with escapes. The Sandite scored a takedown late in the first period but cut the Tiger loose almost immediately, and also cut him to start the second period.

The two went scoreless in the third period and in sudden victory overtime, but Potter rode out the first tie breaker and escaped in the second for the win.

The Sandites qualified six for the State Tournament with three finalists and three consolation finalists.

Brendon Wiseley (36-11, 50-19) won the 106 pound title 5-0 against Broken Arrow’s Bryce Cockrell.

Seth Jones (20-13, 42-27) placed third at 126 with a 10-0 major decision against Ponca City’s Shayden Trant.

Blake Jones (26-12) placed third at 132 with a 7-6 decision over Bartlesville’s Ethan Gilkey.

Scott Patton (29-1, 64-23) won the 152 pound bracket with a 4-2 decision over defending Jenks State Champion Drake Vannoy.

Chris Kirby (34-12, 56-22) placed third at 160 pounds with a 14-10 decision over Owasso junior Nate Jacobson.

Two-time State Champion Riley Weir is out for the remainder of the season with a rib injury and ended his career with a 108-34 record.
