CPHS Wrestling: Scott Patton named to All-State East Team, Sand Springs to host

Charles Page High School senior Scott Patton was named to the Oklahoma Coaches Association All State Wrestling Team Tuesday. He will compete on the Large East team in a dual on July 24th.

Patton went 7-2 as a freshman and placed fifth at the Jay Hancock Memorial. He didn’t compete his sophomore year but earned a starting spot and a 28-20 record as a junior. That year he placed sixth at the Perry Tournament of Champions, 20th at the Kansas City Stampede, fourth at the Bobby Lyons Invitational, and fourth at the Regional Championship.

Patton’s senior year was a dream. He had the best record on the team at 31-2 and won thirty-consecutive matches. He led the team in reversals, was second in takedowns and match points, and fourth in team points. He placed third at Perry, won the Cushing Tiger Invitational, the Jerry Billings Invitational, and the Regional Championship, and placed second at the State Tournament.

His only losses this season were to two-time Kansas State Champion Montez Robinson and two-time Oklahoma State Champion Drake Vannoy. He went 2-1 against Vannoy this season, beating him in a dual and in the Regional finals.

In his career Patton went 66-24 with 24 falls, 3 tech falls, 15 major decisions, 124 takedowns, 175 nearfall points, 61 reversals, and 622 match points.

The All State dual will be held Wednesday, July 24th at 7:00 p.m. at the Ed Dubie Field House in Sand Springs. Patton will meet Duncan’s Hunter Jump (137-15), a two-time State Champion and four-time Finalist at the 5A level.

NCAA Wrestling: Daton Fix wins Big 12 Championship, earns No. 1 seed at NCAAs

Charles Page High School graduate and Oklahoma State University red-shirt freshman Daton Fix (30-1) is headed to the NCAA National Wrestling Championship next week in Pittsburgh, and he got a huge vote of confidence from the seeding committee on Wednesday.

Fix earned the No. 1 seed after winning the Big 12 Conference Championship last weekend in Tulsa. The Big 12 is the second-best represented conference at the tournament with 62 qualifiers.

The Sandite pinned Rylee Molitor in 6:01, and defeated No. 16 Matthew Schmitt 6-1, No. 12 Montorie Bridges 4-2, and No. 29 Gary Joint 7-3 at the Big 12 Tournament, helping the Pokes to their seventh-straight team title. He was one of six Cowboys to earn individual gold.

The NCAAs are a double-elimination tournament with 33 qualifiers per weight class. The top eight finishers will earn All-American status. The first two rounds of the tournament will be held Thursday, followed by the quarterfinals and semis on Friday, and the Championship rounds Saturday night.

In his first match, Fix will take on the winner of No. 32 Devan Turner vs. No. 33 Zack Trampe. He already has wins over eleven 133-pound NCAA Qualifiers, including the defending Champ, No. 3 Nick Suriano (24-3).

Fix’s biggest challengers are both on the opposite side of the bracket. He only beat Suriano in an overtime tie-breaker with a controversial hands-to-the-face penalty. No. 2 Stevan Micic (14-0) is undefeated and also has a 3-2 win over Suriano but is wrestling injured and defaulted his last three matches of the Big Ten Tournament.

No. 7 Austin DeSanto (18-4), No. 13 Austin Gomez (21-5), and Bridges (29-8) are all tough competitors who lost to Fix by two points or less. Gomez and Bridges are both on Fix’s side of the bracket, as is No. 4 Mickey Phillipi (19-2) who upset Fix 3-1 and Suriano 11-3.

Fix’s ranked wins include:

• No. 3 Nick Suriano (Rutgers) 3-2 TB.

• No. 6 Ethan Lizak (Minnesota) 6-1.

• No. 7 Austin DeSanto (Iowa) 2-0.

• No. 8 John Erneste (Missouri) 9-2.

• No. 12 Montorie Bridges (Wyoming) 4-2, 3-0.

• No. 14 Austin Gomez (Iowa State) 5-4, 6-3.

• No. 16 Matthew Schmitt (West Virginia) 6-1, 8-2.

• No. 17 Sean Nickel (CSU Bakersfield) 18-3, 3:56.

• No. 18 Gary Wayne Harding (North Carolina) 10-2.

• No. 20 Brandon Paetzell (Lehigh) 7-1.

• No. 29 Gary Joint (Fresno State) 7-3.

CPHS Wrestling: 2018-2019 Season Rewind and Statistics

In a season filled with adversity, the Sandites got a good look at the resiliency of their program. For the second straight year the Minutemen took tough losses but found ways to reload and make another solid run at the gold.

University of Oklahoma All American Jarrod Patterson took over a program that had finished top-four in the state six years running. The season didn’t end on a strong note, but it started hot and was an exciting ride with a 15-5 dual record, a District title, and a lot of wins along the way.

The Charles Page wrestlers won their first five duals of the year before falling to the eventual State Champions, nationally ranked No. 18 Broken Arrow. They rebounded with their fourth-straight District title, went 4-3 at a loaded Ram Dual Tournament, won homecoming, and made it to the Dual State Semifinals. Of the five teams they lost to, three went on to win State titles.

They finished top-four at the Perry Tournament of Champions, the Jerry Billings Invitational, and the 6A-East Regional with six individual champions along the way. They qualified six for State, four earned medals, and five will return next season.

The Minutemen had to settle for seventh place at the State Tournament due to an injury-depleted roster, but top seven out of 32 teams is still a respectable finish.

Josh Fincannon placed fourth at Cushing and Sapulpa and eighth at Kansas City. A likely State Qualifier, he was unable to compete at Regionals due to a battle with appendicitis He notched a 3-2 decision over Alabama State Champion Isaac McAdams.

Freshman Christian Forbes placed fifth at Perry and Glenpool and sixth at Cushing. He won 5-0 against Kansas State Finalist Trent Clements and pinned State Finalist Brody Gee.

Freshman Kaden Glass placed tenth at Kansas City, third at Cushing, second at Sapulpa and Regionals, and won the Junior High Allstate title. He won 7-4 against State Finalist Nico Lopez.

Freshman Blake Jones placed third at both Perry and Regionals, and won the Junior High Allstate title. He won 4-1 over State Finalist Dylan Brown.

Seth Jones placed fourth at Perry, fifth at Sapulpa, third at Regionals and fourth State. He pinned Kansas State Finalist Kael Pappan and dealt State Champion Zach Blankenship his only loss of the season.

Chris Kirby placed fourth at Perry, thirteenth at Kansas City, second at Cushing, first at Sapulpa, third at Regionals, and fourth at State. He pinned Kansas State Finalist Nolan Craine and Texas State Champion Mario Danzi, and led the team with thirty falls.

Scott Patton was the star of the season. The senior became only the fifth Sandite of the 21st century to win thirty-consecutive matches. He placed third at Perry, won Cushing, Sapulpa, and Regionals, and finished second at State. His only losses were close decisions to two-time Arkansas State Champion Montez Robinson and two-time State Champion Drake Vannoy. Patton actually defeated Vannoy twice but was battling through injury at State. He also defeated State Finalist Abel Perez and two-time State Champ Hadyn Redus.

Two-time State Champ Riley Weir had an injury-plagued senior season and was unable to defend his title. He placed sixth at KCI and third at Sapulpa, notching wins over Kansas State Finalist Zach Keal, two-time Missouri State Champion Karter Brink, and State Finalist Jared Hill.

Brendon Wiseley became the first-ever OSSAA State Qualifier with a prosthetic leg and ended the season as a State Finalist. He placed third at Perry, twelfth at KCI, third at Sapulpa, first at Glenpool, and first at Regionals. Of his twelve losses, all but three came at the hands of State Finalists. He defeated Kansas State Finalist Trent Clements at Perry, and went on a fourteen-match win streak near the end of the season.

Patton, Weir, Taylor, and Justin Smith were the only seniors, so the Sandites will be in good shape next season with a loaded roster of experienced talent.

Sand Springs placed top-three in the tournament for four straight years, but battled adversity this season. They lost State Champion Carter Young and State Runner-Up Kaleb Tabor to transfers, and State Champion Riley Weir and State Qualifier Dayvon Taylor were unable to finish the season due to injuries.

Nationally-ranked No. 17 Broken Arrow won their tenth State title by a wide margin with three State Champions and seven Finalists.

Of the eight returning 6A State Champions only four defended their titles. Reece Witcraft and Drake Vannoy won their second titles. Broken Arrow senior Zach Marcheselli and Choctaw senior Zane Coleman each finished their high school careers as four-timers.

The historic Perry program added to their team title national record, winning their 43rd State tournament in the 3A division. They crowned three Champions, bringing the school total to 113 individuals with 173 medals.

Nationally-ranked No. 9 Tuttle crushed the 4A competition for their sixteenth title with six champions.

Highway 20 rivals Collinsville and Skiatook split the 5A title with 137 points each. Collinsville crowned four champions and Skiatook had three. Two teams haven’t shared a title since 1932 when there was only one classification and Tulsa Central and Cushing tied.

CPHS Wrestling: Chris Kirby places fourth at State Championship

Charles Page High School junior Chris Kirby took fourth place at 160 pounds at the OSSAA 6A State Wrestling Tournament Saturday evening in Oklahoma City.

The Sandite lost his first match 14-8 to Putnam City senior Rene Martinez (28-3), but won twice in consolation before falling in the placement match. He pinned Jenks junior Killian McGrew in 1:34 and scored an 8-4 decision against Broken Arrow junior Tye Rozell (25-9) to clinch a placement match. In the consolation finals he was teched 23-8 by Owasso junior Nate Jacobson.

Kirby finished the season with a 36-14 record and his second State Tournament medal. He also placed fourth as a sophomore and holds a 58-24 career record. Kirby placed fourth at Perry, third at Regionals, second at Cushing, and first at Sapulpa. He also recorded a team-best thirty falls.

CPHS Wrestling: Scott Patton places second at State Championship

Charles Page High School senior Scott Patton wrestled through an injury for second place in the 152-pound bracket at the OSSAA 6A State Wrestling Tournament Saturday evening in Oklahoma City.

The Sandite lost his second match of the season, then rattled off 31 consecutive victories before falling to the defending State Champion, who he had previously beaten twice this season.

Patton won 13-0 against Southmoore sophomore Joe Stover (37-10) and 6-1 over Broken Arrow senior Diego Maturino (33-14) to make his way to the finals. There he fell 5-1 to defending State Champion Drake Vannoy (35-11), a junior from Jenks.

Patton previously defeated Vannoy 6-2 in a dual, and 4-2 in the Regional Tournament, but was unable to repeat. The Trojan scored takedowns in the first and second periods and the injured Sandite could only manage an escape.

Patton finished the season 31-2 with a 66-24 career record. As a senior he placed third at Perry, first at Cushing, first at Sapulpa, and first at Regionals.

This is Vannoy’s second-straight year beating a Sandite in the finals. He won his first title 5-3 against Kaleb Tabor, who transferred to Berryhill this past summer.
