“We got the team stuff wrapped up early and then it became about getting individual titles for our kids,” coach Matt Surber said. “This was a really nice way to finish this tournament off.”

Tuttle finished with 193 team points, as Cushing came in a distant second with 82 points.

Tuttle has now won five consecutive tournament titles, and 10 in the program's history.

PERRY WINS 39th TEAM TITLE

In Class 3A, Perry took home its 39th team state championship. Coach Ronnie Delk said it felt great to bring the championship back to Perry after the Maroons finished runner-up to Blackwell last season.

“It feels great win this one, especially after the way we performed last year,” Delk said. “I'm excited because we get to bring back to Perry what was ours.”
