CPHS Wrestling: Sandites rout Jenks 63-12 on Senior Night, fall 54-21 to Bixby

The Charles Page High School varsity wrestling team (1-2) is still trying to find its stride in this unusual season. The boys are 1-2 in duals and have competed in two tournaments thus far on the year. They placed seventh at their home Okie Throwdown tournament in December, and took eighth at last weekend’s Cushing Tiger Invitational.

The season-opening 69-6 loss to Stillwater (2-0) snapped a 22-year streak of season-opening wins for the Sandites, but that’s the risk that comes with scheduling the number one team in the state. Brooks Dudley snagged the only match win in a historically lopsided dual. Stillwater’s 69 points were the most anyone has scored on Sand Springs in the 21st century.

The Sandites were scheduled to start the year with the top-three teams in a row, but duals against No. 3 Mustang (8-1) and No. 2 Broken Arrow (4-1) were canceled. They dominated 63-12 against an unranked Jenks (0-2) squad last Tuesday but fell 54-21 to undefeated No. 5 Bixby (5-0) on Thursday.

Two more duals are on the itinerary this week. On Tuesday the Sandites will travel to 5A No. 1 Collinsville (1-0), a team that has won three consecutive State Tournaments. The Cardinals won last year’s meeting 34-15. On Thursday they will travel to Owasso (2-2). The teams split meetings last year, and the Sandites lead the series 2-1 under coach Jarrod Patterson.

At the Okie Throwdown tournament the Sandites hosted 11 Oklahoma schools that would traditionally have traveled to the Kansas City Invitational, had out-of-state teams not been banned this year. Sand Springs was without representatives at 120, 152, 160, and 220 pounds, but still finished ahead of a fellow 6A team from Union.

Zander Grigsby placed sixth at 106, Shane Wolf placed sixth at 113, Jesse Moore placed ninth at 126, Mitchell Smith placed fifth at 132, Ethan Norton placed ninth at 138, Colton Luker placed tenth at 145, Chase White placed tenth at 170, Sango Whitehorn placed sixth at 182, Brooks Dudley placed fifth at 195, and Mason Harris placed ninth at 285.

In this past weekend’s Cushing Tiger Invitational, the Sandites placed eighth out of 29 teams, and were the only 6A school. The team was short one weight class, with no representative at heavyweight. Four Sandites earned medals. Zander Grigsby took sixth at 106, Mitchell Smith placed third in 132, Books Dudley finished sixth at 195, and Mason Harris earned fifth at 220.

Sand Springs will return to tournament action Friday at the Jerry Billings Invitational in Sapulpa.
