The No. 1 ranked Charles Page High School wrestling team (10-0) continued its undefeated streak with a 66-0 victory over 3A No. 5 Vian (16-5) in the third round of the Ram Duals in Owasso. This is their fourth shutout this season.

The Sandites defeated Midwest City 69-9 in the first round, then had a bye, while Vian fell 57-18 to No. 12 Claremore (7-2) in round one and defeated Springdale 37-33 in round two.

The Sandites got off to yet another fast start as Michael Ritchey (23-8 season, 52-32 career) pinned Taylor Knotts in 1:04, Blake Sargent (23-8, 75-22) pinned Christian Jones in 1:17, and  Daton Fix (30-0, 148-0) and Jack Karstetter (16-1, 89-16) both received forfeits.

Things got competitive at 145 as Beau Bratcher (26-6, 117-29) took on Whitt Fletcher. The Sandite got off to a good start with a takedown and nearfall for a 5-0 first period lead, then reversed to make it 7-0 early in the second. Then he hurt his elbow and was only able to hold on for the duration without scoring or being scored on.

Payton Scott (25-1, 46-9) pinned Kanton Washington in 0:15 and Mikey Burns (4-3) pinned Gunnar Griffith in 1:02 before there was another tough match. Zane Basma (14-2, 76-27) took on River Simon at 170 and prevailed 7-3 to make the team score 42-0.

Freshman Hayden Cramer (6-3) had a close call against Kade Cato that went into overtime, but Cramer came out on top of a 10-8 sudden victory decision. Gage Fain (20-9, 33-31) won a 10-5 decision over Robert Reason, and the teams double-forfeited 220.

Delvin Jordan (28-2, 59-14) wrestled up to heavyweight and took on Lance Leif for his twenty-second pin of the season, this time in 0:20. Back at 106 Riley Weir (25-6, 46-18) received a forfeit, then Tanner Ward (21-8, 97-20) pinned Jake Coffee in 1:42 to complete the shutout, 66-0.

Three duals wins and 42 match wins wasn't enough for the No. 1 ranked Charles Page High School wrestling team (9-0), so after steamrolling their way through Thursday night's district duals, the Sandites set off for the tough Owasso Ram Duals tournament the next morning. The Sandites are ranked fifteenth in the nation and it showed as they handed Midwest City (2-6) their biggest loss of the season, 69-9.

When the dual began, it was clear the Sandites were still in their pinning mood from the night before. Riley Weir (24-6 season, 45-18 career) took down Ernesto Rico de Chavez in 1:18 and Tanner Ward (20-8, 96-20) received a forfeit. Michael Ritchey (22-8, 51-32) worked up a 13-0 lead over Eric Vidal before pinning the Bomber in 2:12 to make the team score 18-0.

Midwest City had an ace in the hole with three-time State Qualifier Drew Wilson, however, who narrowly overcame Blake Sargent (22-8, 74-22) with a 7-4 decision that was 5-4 with Sargent working towards a pin before Wilson reversed with 15 seconds left.

Daton Fix (29-0, 147-0) got things back on track with a pin of Marquez Edwards in 2:45. Jack Karstetter (15-1, 88-16) pinned Marion King in 0:54, Beau Bratcher (25-6, 116-29) received a forfeit, then Payton Scott (24-1, 45-9) overcame State Qualifier RJ Walker by a close 5-3 decision. From there on, every match was a pin.

Noah Almy (15-12,) took down Aaron Crutison in 1:06, Zane Basma (13-2, 75-27) pinned Jonathan Sutter in 0:35, Hayden Cramer (5-3) pinned Jordan Jones in 3:17, Gage Fain (19-9, 32-31) pinned Brandon Hardin in 1:55, and Delvin Jordan (27-2, 58-14) pinned Siera Laviolette in 0:27.

The Bombers picked up a fall at heavyweight as No. 6 ranked Ryan Tilbury took down Dominique Pipes (0-3, 0-5) in 3:18, but the dual had long since been won. 

The Sandites are enjoying a bye-round right now, but will return to action in round three against 3A No. 5 Vian (15-3). In round four they will battle Sprindale, Arkansas, and in round five they will take on No. 12 Claremore (6-2). The bracketed duals will begin Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

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.

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.

Johnathan Warford also made the cut from 113 to win the Larry Wilkey Invitational and defeated Corwin Strachan 6-4 in sudden victory.
