The Sand Springs Team Big wrestling club sent fourteen wrestlers to the Junior High Allstate Wrestling tournament in Oklahoma City last weekend and crowned two State Champions and one runner-up at the event. Freshmen standouts Blake Jones and Kaden Glass each won titles

The Allstate tournament has two age divisions: Sixth/Seventh Grade and Eighth/Ninth Grade, and a girls’ division for 8th/9th. Unlike the High School State Tournament, there are no divisions based on school size, guaranteeing that the best wrestlers at every weight class meet in the finals.

He pinned Roman Rowland in 1:39, Davaun Jones in 0:47, Jonah Stephenson in 1:03, and Jesse Boyd in 1:22. In the semifinals he scored a 4-2 decision over Bartlesville’s Duke McGill, and in the finals he defeated Tuttle’s Jack Golowenski 5-3. He outscored his opponents 30-5 and only gave up one takedown.

Glass won the Junior High State Title at 200 pounds with six first-period falls and a 3-2 decision against Piedmont’s James Maguire. He took down Blake Rice in 0:37, Brady Neasby in 0:44, Brock Estes in 0:25, Adley Bufford in 0:49, Connor Columbus in 0:29, and Kaylon Wolf in 1:41 in the finals.
