The No. 1 ranked Charles Page High School wrestling team (8-0) demonstrated Thursday why they're not only the top team in Oklahoma, but are also ranked fifteenth in the nation. Hosting Putnam City West (2-6), Enid (2-7), and No. 18 U.S. Grant (4-4), the Sandites won 42 consecutive matches to outscore their opponents by a cumulative 245-0. Not only did they not give up a single team point, but they beat all three teams in a cumulative 59:51, whereas a single dual with no pins or technical falls would last 1:24:00.

Michael Ritchey (21-8 season, 50-32 career) got off to a fast start, taking a 12-2 lead after the first period and ultimately defeated Hunter McGee by 19-3 technical fall in only 3:08.

Blake Sargent (22-7, 74-21)  was next on the mat and he pinned his opponent in 1:03 starting off yet another team pin streak. Daton Fix (28-0, 146-0) pinned Cameron Arrington in 0:35, Jack Karstetter (14-1, 87-16) pinned Tyler Reese in 1:10. Beau Bratcher (24-6, 115-29) pinned Chase Masterson in 0:23.

Payton Scott (23-1, 44-9) had a tough opponent in Austin Loza, but took a 7-1 lead before pinning him in 2:33. Noah Almy (14-12) took down Logan Griffin in 0:27 and Zane Basma (12-2, 74-27) pinned Gavin Morse in 1:41 after leading 12-4.

Kris Edwards (3-0) had one of the toughest opponents of the night and won the only close decision of the evening. They stalemated through the first period and Edwards took a 1-0 lead after a second period escape then added a takedown soon after. With only two seconds left the Plainsman reversed, but Edwards got the 3-2 victory.

Riley Weir (23-6, 44-18) breezed through his opponent and led 12-1 after the first, then added another takedown and nearfall points for a 17-1 tech fall in only 2:40. Tanner Ward (19-8, 95-20) ended the evening with a pin in 1:39. 

The Sandites are now officially heading back to Dual State this February at Firelake Arena in Shawnee. Last season the Sandites finished as runners-up, falling 41-18 to Choctaw.

No. 1 Sandite wrestling defeats Putnam City West 82-0 with 12 pins

/

By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief

Just an hour after unofficially setting the national record for fastest dual win with fourteen pins, the Sandites nearly did the same thing to their next opponent.

The No. 1 ranked Sand Springs wrestling team (7-0) hosted three other schools Thursday night at the Ed Dubie Field House for district dual night. They pinned the entire U.S. Grant team in a cumulative 14 minutes and 2 seconds in the first dual, unofficially topping a 20-year old record by five seconds.

According to Wrestling USA Magazine, the fastest ever time for a fourteen-match dual won entirely by pin was 14:07, set in 1997 by Marquette, Michigan. Though the record won't be official unless Head Coach Kelly Smith or Athletic Director Rod Sitton begin an application process with Wrestling USA Magazine, the Sandites can be proud just knowing they did it. 

In the second dual of the night, the Sandites took on Putnam City West (2-6) and for a while it looked like they might be trying to beat the record all over again. 

Tanner Ward (18-8 season, 94-20 career) pinned Yanni Ellis in 0:33. Michael Ritchey (20-8, 49-32) pinned his opponent in 3:36. Blake Sargent (21-7, 73-21) took an 8-0 lead over Landon Loudermilk before pinning him in 2:46.

Then the Sandites really got aggressive. Daton Fix (27-0, 145-0) pinned Chandler Tolton in 0:21. Jack Karstetter (13-1, 86-16) pinned his opponent in 0:04, matching a national record set by Blair Renfrow (Glynn Academy, Brunswick, Georgia) in 2003. Beau Bratcher (23-6, 114-29) pinned Matthew Hart in 0:17, and Payton Scott (22-1, 43-9) pinned Addison Sutton in 0:06. 

The pinning streak finally came to a close at the 160 pound match as Noah Almy (13-12) won a 16-6 major decision over Terrel Garrett, but Zane Basma (11-2, 73-27) started things right back up again with a 0:04 pin of Chance Strickland, matching the national record set by Robert Scavage (Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania) in 1969.

Hayden Cramer (3-3) continued things with a pin of Eric Guzman in 1:16. Gage Fain (17-9, 30-31) worked up a 6-1 lead over Ahmauriahn Romby before pinning him in 2:37. Delvin Jordan (25-2, 56-14) pinned Jose Silva in 0:44 after leading 11-2. Kris Edwards (2-0) pinned Junior Martinez in 2:36 and Riley Weir accepted a forfeit to conclude the 82-0 shutout victory. 

The Sandites have one dual left for the evening and will battle Enid (2-6) for their ticket to Dual State in Shawnee.

The No. 1 ranked Charles Page High School varsity wrestling team is currently sitting in first place at the Jerry Billings Invitational in Sapulpa, by a significant margin. The tournament began Friday morning and Sand Springs entered wrestlers in only ten of fourteen weight classes while resting several athletes with minor injuries.

The Sandites currently lead No. 3 Broken Arrow 194 points to 142, with 5A No. 3 Collinsville holding 133 points. The Sandites' massive lead is made even more impressive considering they didn't wrestle anybody at 152, 182, 195, or 285 pounds. Eight Sand Springs wrestlers will be competing for first place in their brackets, while six others have the possibility of placing as high as third place.

The consolation matches will begin Saturday at noon and the finals matches will be wrestled at 4:00 p.m. in the Sapulpa Chieftain Center at 1201 East Lincoln Avenue.
