CPHS Wrestling: Seth Jones places fourth at State Tournament

Charles Page High School junior Seth Jones took fourth place at the OSSAA 6A State Wrestling Tournament Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City.

He made his way to the 126-pound consolation finals with a payback pin of Broken Arrow sophomore Blazik Perez (28-11), who had previously defeated him twice this season, but lost the placement match to Deer Creek sophomore Cade Manion (37-7). Manion beat him 5-1 in the quarterfinals and 9-2 in placement.

Jones got a lucky break in the consolation quarterfinals, receiving a medical forfeit from former State Champion Laif Jones (32-5) who had previously bested him twice this season.

Jones finished the season with a 22-15 record, bringing his career total to 44-29. He also qualified for State last season but did not place. He placed fifth this season at Sapulpa, fourth at Perry, and third in the Regional Championship.

Former Sandite Carter Young (42-4), who transferred to Stillwater after winning State as a freshman, settled for second place at 126, falling 5-1 to Mustang freshman John Wiley (29-3).
