Union Survives Broken Arrow’s Furious Push to Capture Oklahoma 6A Girls Wrestling Title

Three straight head-to-head finals swung the team race as Kyah Leyba’s stunning comeback briefly ignited Broken Arrow before Union slammed the door; McCloud rolls to dominant 5A crown.

It was quite a sight on Saturday evening at the OG& E Coliseum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for the Oklahoma state finals that had six matches going simultaneously, four for the boys and two for the girls. The McCloud Girls cruised to the 5A title over Harrah (146-53).

In the Ladie’s 6A slate, however, Union’s title quest was being challenged by Broken Arrow as they entered the final round within six points of each other, Union was up 117-111. Union had six in the finals with three head-to-head meetings with Broken Arrow, who placed five in the finals. 

The make-or-break point for both contingencies came when the two would face each other in three straight finals from 130 to 140 pounds. At that point, Union had gone up by 12 points, 123-111, after gaining a fall from McKenna Wilson over Bixby’s Brynlyn Sullivan at 120 pounds.  

Leyba’s Late Takedown at 130 Ignites Broken Arrow’s Title Hopes

Terrilan Banner seemed intent on trying to put an end to the team race when she stepped out against No. 15 Kyah Leyba at 130 pounds. Banner attacked quickly with an ankle pick and almost locked up a cradle but then just wrapped up the head and collected four near-fall points to go up 7-0. 

Leyba came back with a reversal at the end of the period and added another in the second to close the gap to 7-4. A low single in the third period for Leyba would bring them to an 8-8 tie. With Banner oh so close to a takedown but not able to clear an arm, Leyba spun behind with a second left to secure the winning takedown, 11-8. 

Union Answers Through Harris and Luker to Clinch Championship Moment

Leyba’s comeback kept Broken Arrow alive and down by eight 123-115. At 135 pounds, Corey Harris of Union swung the flow back to her squad’s favor with an 8-1 decision of Tiffany Brashears. Union was now out front by 12 points, 127-115. Broken Arrow had two left and could max out at 12 points, creating a tie at the top.

No. 16 Kelcie Luker was not having any of that and took control of Broken Arrow’s Sophie Donaho quickly with a first period takedown. It ended in the middle frame when Luker, in the midst of an avalanche of points, took a shot and came up to her feet where she reversed tripped Donaho to her back to plant her in 3:50.  

With the team title locked up, one of the Union coaches, who was sharply dressed in a suit that popped, stripped off his jacket and formal attire to reveal a championship themed shirt that Luker also donned while getting her hand raised.

Union girls settling for silver were No. 30 Kylee Tran (100 pounds), Dakota Harris (105), and Banner. No. 11 Paige Wainscott landed third at 235 pounds after getting tripped up in the semifinals by a girl who would end up not reaching the podium, Broken Arrow’s Brooklyn McKinney.

Broken Arrow girls who gained golds were Leyba and Emily Beckley at 145 pounds. Beckley is ranked 9th in the country and won her second consecutive title with a 9-4 decision of ADA’s Makenna Howell. Howell upset No. 10 Makaylee Cannon (Piedmont) in the semis, 6-2.  

Westmoore, Bixby Stack Multiple Champions in Loaded 6A Field

Bixby’s two champs were repeat titlists, No. 12 Addison Morse (110 pounds) and No. 3 Millie Azlin (190). Morse had little trouble with Westmoore’s Hannah Lopez ringing up a 15-2 major decision. Azlin, on the other hand, went through a scoreless first period with No. 24 Tessalyn Goodner (Putnam City) and then picked up the only points of the bout with a reversal in the second. Azlin rode Goodner out for the third and the 2-0 win. 

Westmoore also had a defending champ get it done amongst their three gold medalists. No. 11 Kyrstan Perez decked Union’s Dakota Harris when she ran an arm bar near the end of the second, 3:46. Westmoore had two other champs to equal Union’s three.

No. 21 Ranelle Smith stuck No. 22 Claire Lancaster (Norman), 5:47, in a mild upset at 125 pounds. After a 3-2 first period, not much happened until the final frame when Smith caught Lancaster on her back and finished her off. No. 27 Kyrain Perez handled Union’s Tran, 5-2, at 100 pounds. 

Two titles were brought home by ladies from Owasso, including an upset victory at 155 pounds by Payton Maggard, who used takedowns in the opening and closing round for her six points in the 6-2 win over No. 25 Maya Dobrinski (Stillwater). Jadi Asberry used a fall in 5:43 over Chloe Daniels (Del City) for her win. 

The last two 6A Champions were Putnam City West’s Chloe Medlock (115 pounds) and Brielle Williams of Lawton at 235 pounds. 

McCloud was the only team with more than one champion in the 5A Division. Their three gold medals paced them to an easy team win, No. 28 Remy Whitney (100 pounds), Carli Sisco (105), and Kendra Perrin (145). Whitney improved on last year’s silver with an 18-2 technical fall of Harrah’s Madden Talley. 

McCloud had three silver medalists, Gabriella Lozano (115 pounds), Launa Troutt (120), and Alexus Jones (135). No. 12 Riley Samarripa (190 pounds) was third and Melania Nenaikita placed fourth at 235. 

Samarripa was picked off by the eventual champ, Sulphur’s Parker Wynn, 7-5, in the semis. Wynn was all about the upsets as she used another in the finals against No. 27 Brook West (Comanche), 4-0.

Another nationally ranked girl, Wagoner’s Alyvia Edwards lost to a freshman champ in the semis, Ilianna Salzar, by fall, 2:55. Edwards (No. 28 at 190) bounced back for third at 170 pounds. 

The final two nationally ranked 5A Champions were No. 33 Dru Turner (Hinton) and No. 27 Abigail Lacy (Oologah). Tuner won a second straight crown with a 16-1 tech of Hannah Miller (Bridge Creek) in the 130-pound finals. Lacy stuck Little Axe’s Chloe Vawter in 3:08 at 235.
