Defending State Champion Riley Weir (29-7, 91-25) wrestled Mustang freshman Tucker Owens (41-5) in the 113 Championship finals. Owens topped Weir 2-1 at Dual State, scoring in the final moments after Weir was injured in an escape. Weir repaid that loss with a 4-0 victory in the Regional finals and repeated at the State Tournament.

They went scoreless through the first period then Weir escaped ten seconds into the second. They started the final stretch neutral and Weir got a takedown thirty seconds in. He cut the Bronco with fifteen seconds left and dodged several shots for a 3-1 decision.

The junior joins an elite group of only ten wrestlers in Sand Springs history to win two State titles. The last Sandite to accomplish the feat was Daton Fix in 2015. Last year Weir became the 26th State Champion in Sand Springs wrestling history and was one of five Champions to help the Sandites win their first team title since 1971. 

This season he won the Bobby Lyons Invitational, the Glenpool Warrior Classic, and the 6A-East Regionals. 

Junior Kaleb Tabor (25-11) will wrestle Jenks sophomore Drake Vannoy (36-4) in the 152-pound finals.
