CPHS Wrestling: Dual State Preview - No. 5 Sand Springs vs. No. 2 Choctaw

/

Class 6A No. 2 ranked Choctaw (7-2) and No. 5 Charles Page High School (15-4) will meet Saturday at 12:00 p.m. in the semifinal round of the OSSAA 6A Dual State Championship in Shawnee.

Sand Springs defeated No. 4 Edmond North 34-31 in the quarterfinals, while Choctaw defeated No. 9 Owasso 33-31.

The Sandites and Yellowjackets have only two mutual opponents this season. Sand Springs fell 39-31 to 3A No. 2 Comanche, who also defeated Choctaw 35-33. Sand Springs defeated Owasso 53-21.

They have competed at one tournament together. Choctaw placed second at the Perry Tournament of Champions with 154 points and Sand Springs placed fourth with 126. Both teams voided three weight classes at the event. The Yellowjackets were without top-ten ranked wrestlers in Caleb Williams and Colt Newton. The Sandites were without Riley Weir and Kaden Glass.

Sand Springs is 1-4 in head-to-head matches against the Yellowjackets this season. Shawn Muse defeated Seth Jones 6-4, Jace Dean pinned Caleb Phillips, Chandler Holman pinned Chris Kirby, and Tony Opichka defeated Josh Fincannon 2-1, all at Perry. The only Sandite win was Dayvon Taylor with a pin of Colten Krebs, and Taylor is out of the lineup.

If the Sandites survive Choctaw it’ll mark their third Finals appearance in the past four years. Sand Springs was the Dual State Runners-Up in 2016 and won their first title in 2017, but fell in the quarterfinals last season.

On the other side of the bracket is No. 1 Broken Arrow (11-1) vs. No. 3 Mustang (20-2). The finals will be held at 6:30 p.m.

The tournament is being held at Firelake Arena at 18145 Old Rangeline Road, Shawnee, OK 74801.

CPHS Wrestling: Sandites upset No. 4 Edmond North 34-31 at Dual State

/

For the third time in the past four seasons the Sandite wrestling team is headed to the OSSAA Class 6A Dual State Semifinals after upsetting No. 4 Edmond North (9-3) Friday afternoon in Shawnee. No. 5 Charles Page High School (15-4) won eight matches in the 34-31 victory.

Freshman Kaden Glass (27-8) started the dual in the Sandites’ favor with a 7-6 decision over Christian Cantu at 195 pounds, but State-Placer Jake McCoy gave the Huskies their first and only lead of the day with a 10-0 major decision against Brooks Dudley (9-6).

Josh Fincannon (25-16, 39-33) edged out Jordan Iwuchukwu 3-2 at heavyweight and the Sandites never again relinquished their lead. Christian Forbes (27-9) had a wild showdown against Garrett McBride, taking a 16-6 lead before the Husky began to battle back in the final minute. McBride picked up a stalling point and reversed for a trio of back points but couldn’t overcome the deficit and fell 16-11.

Brendon Wiseley (31-11, 45-19) got the first fall of the night at 113, sticking Connor McBride in 1:15 for a 15-4 team lead. However, the Huskies got those points right back with a big upset when Nate Becker pinned two-time State Champion Riley Weir (17-7, 108-34).

Seth Jones (16-11, 38-25) got the Sandites back on track, taking an 11-1 lead on State Qualifier Dillon Martin before securing the fall at 5:47, and Blake Jones (21-10) majored Carson Trindle 10-0.

Josh Parks pinned Joseph Mattison (2-9) in 3:09 and Jaxon Randall won a 4-1 decision against Preston Medlin (13-19) to make it 24-19.

Scott Patton (25-1, 60-23) won his 24th straight match with an 11-1 major decision against Jayden Villalobos, Charles Floyd pinned Braden Dahl (9-14, 10-17) in 3:15 to make it 28-25.

Chris Kirby (29-10, 51-20) wrestled up to 170 and clinched the dual with his 25th fall of the season in 2:12 against Braden Bowman. Trey Bowman finished the dual with a pin of Riley Magee (15-15, 20-20) in  3:51.

Sand Springs will return to action Saturday at 12:00 p.m. against No. 2 Choctaw (7-2) who won 33-31 against No. 9 Owasso (7-8) in their quarterfinal. The tournament is being held at Firelake Arena in Shawnee. No. 1 Broken Arrow (11-1) and No. 3 Mustang (20-2) won the other quarterfinal duals.

CPHS Wrestling: Sandites beat Bixby 57-21, Seth Jones decisions State Champion

/

The Class 6A No. 5 ranked Charles Page High School wrestling team (14-4) won its final dual of the regular season Tuesday evening at No. 15 Bixby (3-7), rolling over the Spartans 57-21 with eight pins.

Both teams forfeited one weight class apiece and Sand Springs won nine out of twelve matches. The only Sandite victory that didn’t come by fall was arguably the most impressive as Seth Jones (15-11, 37-25) won a 6-4 decision over Zach Blankenship.

Blankenship, a previously-undefeated freshman and two-time Junior High State Champion was ranked first in the State with six tournament titles this season. Jones gave up three points in the second period but scored takedowns in the first and third to end the Spartan’s undefeated season.

Christian Forbes (26-9) received a forfeit to start the dual and Brendon Wiseley (30-11, 44-19) racked up a 12-0 lead on Garrett Washington before sticking his foe at 5:06 for a 12-0 lead. Bixby got on the board at 120 with a forfeit to Karsten Rice. Blake Jones (20-10) followed up Seth Jones’s win by pinning Ainslie Lane in 1:59 to make it 21-6.

Aidan Kirkland won an 8-4 decision over Joseph Mattison (2-8) at 138 pounds then Sand Springs went on a run. Preston Medlin (13-18) pinned Caleb Stephens in 1:09, Scott Patton (24-1, 59-23) pinned Aidan Hill in 2:31, and Chris Kirby (28-10, 50-20) pinned Isaac Gibson in 3:39 for a 39-9 advantage.

The Spartans tried to battle back with falls at 170 and 182. Jack Puckett pinned Braden Dahl (9-13, 10-16) and Andrew Plumlee pinned Santana Naugle (3-9) to keep the dual alive, but Brooks Dudley (9-5) pinned Christian Brylewski to clinch the victory for Sand Springs. The last two matches were over in less than a minute as Kaden Glass (26-8) pinned Brady Neasby in 0:18 and Josh Fincannon (24-16, 38-33) pinned Tommy Baty in 0:23.

Sand Springs will return to action Friday at 12:00 p.m. when they wrestle No. 4 Edmond North (9-2) in the first round of the OSSAA 6A Dual State Championship.

CPHS Wrestling: No. 5 Sandites to meet No. 4 Edmond North Friday at Dual State

/

The Class 6A No. 5 ranked Charles Page High School wrestling team (13-4) is headed to Dual State for the fourth-straight year on Friday. The Sandites will meet No. 4 Edmond North (9-2) at 12:00 p.m. on Mat 3 at Firelake Arena in Shawnee.

The teams don’t have a single mutual opponent this season and they have only wrestled one tournament together. Sand Springs placed 28th at the Kansas City Stampede, while the Huskies finished 37th.

At KCI there were only two head-to-head meetings. Brendon Wiseley scored a 16-0 technical fall against Garrett McBride and Chris Kirby pinned Jayden Villalobos in 0:58.

Both teams were without some of their starters at that tournament, so it’s tough to predict how they would match up at full strength. Edmond North voided two weights and lost Jake McCoy mid-tournament. Sand Springs voided three weights and lost Dylan Luker, Seth Jones, and Riley Magee mid-tournament.

Both Carson Trindle and State Champion Kruz Simons have been inactive since sustaining injuries in their first tournament of the year. Both teams have a lot of talent, but the Huskies have a deeper well to draw from than the Sandites.

Edmond North is coached by Andrew Schneider with a 108-16 record in his ninth season. The Huskies won their first and only State and Dual State titles in 2013, and have won ten-straight District Championships. The Sandites are led by first-year Head Coach Jarrod Patterson. They hold two State titles and one Dual State title, winning both Championships in 2017.

Firelake Arena is located at 18145 Old Rangeline Road, Shawnee, OK 74801.

Sandite of the Week Blake Jones wins Junior High State Championship

/

Charles Page High School freshman Blake Jones won the Junior High State title at 133 pounds this weekend with four first-period falls and a pair of close decisions.

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.

Jones is a member of the varsity team at Charles Page High School, which is ranked fifth in Class 6A and headed to the Dual State Championship in Shawnee on Friday. He holds a 19-10 varsity record with nine falls.
