Maroons roll at the UMAC

TULSA — What do Pawhuska, Barnsdall and Cascia Hall have in common?
They’ve all climbed the Class 2A ladder only to come up one rung short.
On Saturday inside Tulsa’s UMAC, the Perry Maroons made it four Dual State titles in a row with a convincing 45-15 rout of the Commandos of Cascia Hall.
CHHS received a forfeit at 130 pounds and led 9-4 — all duals started at 119. However, things quickly went downhill as PHS, who routed Pawhuska, 45-18, in the semifinals earlier in the day, won 11-straight matches.
Senior Josh Ketch’s pin at the 4:22 mark of the 160-pound bout made it 26-9 and put things in the hands of the Maroon senior foursome of Dusty Ward, Brice Beckwith, Chris Edwards and Treynor Tetik.
Game. Set. Match.
Ward turned a 2-1 tussle into a 5-1 win with a third-period takedown of Ryan Zabienski at 171.
Beckwith escaped disaster when he avoided a pin late in the first period after putting Sean Murphy on his back. The Perry 189-pounder came right back and pinned Murphy at the 2:39 mark.
Edwards, Beckwith’s back-up at 189, moved up to 215 and beat Spencer Kinzie, 6-1.
Tetik, a 215-pounder, followed with a 4-3 win at heavyweight.
“I thought we could get on (Cascia Hall), but not like that,” said PHS coach Scott Chenoweth. “We had seven guys wrestle up a weight and usually that backfires.
“I told Chris Edwards during Christmas break that he was the key to our dual state championship. He really stepped up and did a great job the second semester. He wrestled guys that weighed 30 pounds more than he did (Saturday).”
Edwards filled in for Beckwith while the 2005 state runner-up was injured. All he did was win the Jenks title in early January.
“I’ve been wrestling since third grade so I figured I’d stick it out,” Edwards said. “I had a good football season and wrestling is just something I’ve done.
“Coach told me that I was a very important part of this team and I was happy that I got to wrestle so many matches this season. I’ll be pulling for Brice at state.”
Beckwith injured his back during the first semester and did not come back until the middle of January.
“It got to a point where I couldn’t tie my own shoes,” Beckwith said. “Chris did a great job and it’s tough for him not to go to Regionals. I have a lot of respect for him to stick with it. He could have checked it in, but he stayed with it and really played a role in winning Dual State.”
Chenoweth also got big wins at 135 and 140. Ry Fleming needed :46 to pin Travis Montgomery at 135, while Sol Throckmorton throttled Conner Kirtley, 11-3, at 140. Defending state champion Austin Workman moved up to 152 and earned a tough 3-2 decision of Danny Clements.
“We bumped people up and they still went out and got bonus points,” said Ward. “It’s nice to see guys like Chris Edwards having success. Everybody would like for him to get a chance to go to state, but that is just the way that it works out sometimes.
“I guess that just says something about our team this year.”
In the semifinals, Pawhuska’s chances in a 45-18 loss could pretty much be summed by the 215-pound bout. Perry sent out Edwards against Rick Reed with the dual already wrapped up.
Edwards spent nearly 4:00 of a match that went 7:30 bouncing on one leg. In the first period, Edwards, after bouncing on one leg for 1:00, countered and scored a takedown. Reid got to the leg again in the third and finally turned it into points to tie the bout at 3-3.
After a scoreless 1:00 overtime, Reed rode out the 30-second tiebreaker for a 4-3 win.
The outcome of the dual was all-but-decided after seven weights as the Maroons built a 33-0 lead highlighted by freshman Stephen Swan’s 7-2 win at 125 and Throckmorton’s overtime-tiebreaker win at 140.
Ward’s tough 5-2 win over Craig Walker at 171 put Perry up 36-9 and Beckwith’s 3-0 win at 189 made it 39-9.
Midwest City won its first 5A title since 1996, beating Ponca City. Marlow had little trouble with Bristow in 3A, while Catoosa ended El Reno’s run in 4A.
Regional competition for all classes is next weekend.
Headlock heard in El Reno
Catoosa, picked as the heir apparent to 4A power El Reno, got falls at 275 and 103 to unseat the Indians, 39-27.
CHS freshman Dallas Bailey was trailing Chad Cradduck 5-4 midway through the third period when he pulled out a headlock reminiscent of his father, Oklahoma State All-American Leo Bailey, for a pin. Brett Gray followed with a pin and Catoosa led 19-5.
ERHS battled back to trail 22-21, but Catoosa’s Indians had enough in the end to win 4A’s top prize. El Reno had won 10-straight.
Wild finishes
Cushing’s reign as 3A champions came to an end Saturday afternoon. The Tigers, winners of two-straight Duals titles, led 17-0 early, but watched Bristow rally with two pins and two decisions in the final four bouts to win, 36-29.
Dakotah Simpson, a two-time state champ, bumped up two weight classes to 160 and picked up a fall that put CHS up 29-15. A bout earlier, Barrett Ahrberg had a second-period pin at 152.
In Friday’s first round, it was Cushing who rallied from a 27-9 hole to beat Ft. Gibson, 31-30.
In Class 2A, Cascia Hall and Hobart entered the final bout tied at 30 where Kyle Torkelson picked up technical fall. All first round and semifinal matches started at 112 pounds on Saturday.
As usual
4A power El Reno won its first two duals by a combined 108-27, while 5A No. 1 Midwest City beat Tulsa Union, 55-11, on Friday and Sapulpa, 55-9, in the semifinals.
The Indians will have a new head coach next season when Archie Randall takes over at Oklahoma City University, a program in its first year.
