First they knocked off No. 8 Jenks 43-40 on Friday, then they took No. 10 Broken Arrow to the wire in Saturday’s championship, only falling 42-38 after leading early in the fourth.

Mitchell Smith qualifies for State Tournament

This year’s high school wrestling postseason is a bit unorthodox due to COVID-19 and winter weather.

The Class 6A-East Regional, held last Saturday and Monday at Broken Arrow, were delayed more than a week due to the weather. And in those regionals, all the competition in seven weight classes was held on one day and the other seven on the second day — instead of all classes spread out over two days.
