Wrestling: 5A-6A wrap up from Day 1

Day one of the state wrestling tournament is in the books and though there weren’t a ton of upsets, the fianls are shaping up to be pretty interesting.

Class 6A

There will be at least two rematches from last year’s finals with Del City’s Tray Dorell going against Tulsa Union’s Josh Walker in the 112 pound pound finals. In 6A, Kyle Garcia (119) will meet Jacob Weis from Jenks again. He beat him last year to win his first title. Garcia had a tough match in the semis with Stillwater’s Jared Elmore.

Class 5A
Deer Creek pushed Nolan Boyd (171) and Alex Christensen into the finals. Boyd will get Lawton Mac’s Max Adair in the finals. Boyd has a good shot, but beating Adair won’t be easy. Christensen gets NW Classen’s Mike Anderson who beat him in the regional finals last week.

Carl Albert had a disappointing night with three semifinalists and only one in the finals. The good news is most of Carl Albert’s team will be back next year as Fay Barnett continues to build one of the better programs in the metro area. And Jared Porter has a good shot to win his second title.
