Caleb Basma and Cody Randall place third at Golden Norsemen Open

/

By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief

Two members of the Charles Page High School Class of 2015 have continued their impressive athletic careers at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College. The Golden Norsemen (14-1) are currently ranked first in the nation in the National Junior College Athletic Association.

Cody Randall (13-11) and Caleb Basma (18-13) were lightweight members of the Sandite varsity squad. Both were State Qualifiers their senior years, and Randall placed third at State and made the All-State Dual Team.

NEO entered the season ranked tenth, and made a big statement in the opening week of dual season. First they shut out Neosho 46-0, then they hammered No. 3 Labette 45-3. The Sandites didn't wrestle those first two duals, but they've worked their way into the lineup since then.

The Norsemen took on No. 20 ranked Barton on November 15th and rolled to a commanding 41-6 victory as both Sandites picked up wins. Randall scored a 10-2 major decision over Greg Bentley in the opening match, then Basma had the biggest win of the night in a 5-4 upset decision over No. 4 Caysen Smith. 

From there the Norsemen steamrolled Wentworth 60-0 and picked up the number one ranking in the NJCAA the following week. On January 5th Basma scored a 7-6 decision over James Taylor as the Norsemen defeated No. 17 NW Kansas Tech 38-3 at Dual Nationals. The Norsemen made it to the finals before falling 23-9 to Clackamas Community College.

On January 13th NEO traveled to Kearney, Nebraska for the UNK Midwest Duals and swept the tournament with five wins by a combined 215-30. The Norsemen hammered No. 7 Otero 42-9, aided by Randall with a 2-1 decision over Adrian Cordova. Basma topped Stuart Brandt 9-5 in a 34-12 victory over Jamestown, then beat Jesus Morales 8-4 in a 48-0 shutout of No. 15 NW Kansas Tech. 

Basma currently leads the entire team in reversals this season with 9, and Randall is fifth with 5. 

Basma placed in his first college tournament back in November at the Joe Parisi Open with a split record. He topped Berkeley Todd (Ellsworth CC) 5-2, pinned Clay Vincent (University of Oklahoma) in 1:17, and scored an 8-5 decision over JD Higdon (Hannibal-Lagrange) before suffering three-straight losses and taking sixth place.

Last weekend Basma came in Runner-Up at the Roger Denker Open in Warrensburg, Missouri at the University of Central Missouri. He defeated the home team's John Feeney 7-4, pinned Tyler Brown (Baker University) in 3:20, then beat Weston Cronan (Ouachita Baptist) 8-4 before falling 4-1 to Brandon Matlock of Grand View Iowa. 

Randall placed in his first college tournament this weekend at NEO's Golden Norsemen Open. Both Randall and Basma took third in their team's home tournament. 

Basma lost his opening match 19-4 to Oklahoma State freshman Gary Wayne Harding, but won out from there with four close decisions. He topped Dakota Bromley (Ouachita Baptist) 3-1 and Michael Sanchez (UCO) 8-4. Two matches went into overtime and Basma defeated Aaron Hane (UCO) 3-2 in a tie-breaker and took down Wyatt Alvis (Fort Hayes) 3-1 in sudden-victory to make his way to the consolation finals. In the placement match he prevailed 6-4 over Noah McQuigg of UCO.

Randall pinned his way to success, finishing four matches in only 6:24. He topped Christian Haynes (Bacone) in 0:20 and Tre Ponce (Labette) in 0:42 before falling 8-5 to Tim Null (UCO). In the consolations he pinned Westone Cronan (Ouachita) in 0:27 and Reid Pfiefer (Bacone) in 4:55.

The Golden Norsemen Open was the regular season finale for NEO, and the Norsemen will return to action February 11th at the NJCAA West-Central District Qualifier in Pratt, Kansas. If Basma or Randall qualify there, they will advance to the National Championships at Council Bluffs, Iowa on February 24th.

The No. 1 ranked Charles Page High School varsity wrestling team (16-0) continued their undefeated season with a dominating 75-6 performance against No. 14 Jenks (3-4) Thursday night at homecoming.

Riley Weir (31-6 season, 52-18 career) wasted no time at 106, taking down Garrett Johnson in the first five seconds and added a trio of back points as the first period expired. He started the second period down, quickly reversed, then pinned his foe in 2:50. Tanner Ward (26-9, 102-21) was equally quick in taking control of Lucas Debolt and took a 5-1 lead with nearfall points in the first minute, then got the pin in 1:10.

120 was a potential State Tournament preview as previous State Qualifiers Michael Ritchey (29-8, 58-32) and Chase Slatton went head-to-head. The Sandite got an escape to start the second period 1-0, then nearly gave up a takedown as the Trojan caught him on one leg. The experienced senior didn't panic, however, and fought his way out of it. Ritchey had a vice grip on Slatton in the third and his opponent never came close to an escape. He added back points on two occasions and rode out for a 6-0 decision.

Blake Sargent (29-8, 81-22) took on Brandon Elrod at 126 and the Trojan put up a valiant effort, only trailing 2-0 after the first. Sargent chose the down position to start the second period and scored an escape thirty seconds in. The two stayed on their feet till the end of the period when Sargent got a takedown and pin at the 3:50 mark.

Oklahoma State-signed senior Daton Fix (36-0, 154-0) worked his usual technical assault on Enrique Chavez and scored five takedowns in the first minute. Fix led 12-5 after the first and was up 17-6 when he finally cradled the Trojan at 2:41.

Jack Karstetter (22-1, 95-16) received a forfeit at 138, then Beau Bratcher (35-6, 126-29) pinned Killian McGrew in 0:51. Colt Freeman was the next Trojan to fall, going down in 1:01 at the hands of junior Payton Scott (30-2, 51-10).

Jenks finally put points on the board with a pin of Noah Almy (17-16) in 1:10 at the hands of Chase Kelvington. Zane Basma (19-2, 81-27) quickly earned those points back, however, with a 1:10 pin of Jaylon Pitts.

Hayden Cramer (8-7) took on Naimul Islam at 182 and scored a takedown midway through the first period. Cramer started the second period down and escaped almost immediately, then took his foe to the mat once again. This time he added a pair of nearfall points before letting Islam escape and entered the third period 7-1. Islam chose the bottom in the final stretch and Cramer sealed the deal at 4:43.

Gage Fain (24-11, 37-33) received a forfeit, then Delvin Jordan (34-2, 65-14) played a game of cat and mouse with Corbin Crisp, working up a 6-1 lead before pinning him in 0:50. The final match of the night was between Caleb Orr and Kris Edwards (4-0), and the Sandite came out with the pin at 1:59 to seal the 75-6 team victory.

Sand Springs will return to action next Tuesday at Bixby (1-6) in their final dual of the regular season. After that they'll be traveling to Shawnee on February 10th for the Dual State Championship at Firelake Arena.

Most Outstanding Wrestler: Dylan Avery (Perry)

The No. 1 ranked Charles Page High School wrestling team (15-0) won their second-straight dual over another No. 1 ranked team to clinch the 2nd Annual Ram Duals title Saturday afternoon in Owasso. After topping Kansas No. 1 Manhattan 53-24 in the semifinals, they rolled to an equally impressive 48-18 victory over 3A No. 1 Perry (14-2). Sand Springs won ten of fourteen matches and never trailed.

Noah Almy (17-15) made his mark on the Maroons, handily outscoring State Qualifier Kort Davis 18-2 for a technical fall in 4:23. Zane Basma (18-2 season, 80-27 career) pinned Zack Lowry half a second before the first buzzer, then Hayden Cramer (7-7) narrowly avoided a fall and was saved by the buzzer against State Qualifier Kohl Owens. He picked up a takedown of his own early in the second period, but couldn't escape the pin the next time he went down and fell in 3:18.

The Maroons scored another victory at 195 with a back-and-forth 8-6 decision by State Qualifier Robert Spiekers over Gage Fain (23-11, 36-33), but Delvin Jordan (33-2, 64-14) made up for it by pinning Teaguen Wilson in 0:57. The Sandites forfeited heavyweight, but got bonus points at 106 as Riley Weir (30-6, 51-18) majored State Runner-Up Alex Valencia 12-0.

Tanner Ward (25-9, 101-21) lost an 8-4 decision to freshman Dylan Avery, but Michael Ritchey (28-8, 57-32) scored a big win at 120 with a 4-0 victory against State Champion Cale Betchan.

The Maroons' last big shot to get back into contention fell with State Runner-Up Brycen Justus who was defeated 8-2 by Blake Sargent (28-8, 90-22). Perry forfeited to Daton Fix (35-0, 153-0) and Jack Karstetter (21-1, 94-16) topped State Qualifier Riley Cinnamon 8-5 to clinch the dual at 36-18 with two matches left.

Beau Bratcher (34-6, 125-29) pinned Logan Patton in 1:29 and Payton Scott finished things up with a pin of State Qualifier Jace Burdick in 1:33. 

The Sandites will return to action Tuesday evening at 5:00 p.m. when they host 5A No. 4 Collinsville () at Clyde Boyd Middle School.
