Three Cascia Hall wrestlers won first place at the Bishop Kelley Invitational Tournament Saturday, allowing the Commandos to win the team championship with 162 points, 10 better than Owasso's 152.
Taking third place was Berryhill with 133.5, Mannford was fourth with 114 and Jenks was fifth with 104.5.
Cascia Hall had the tournament locked up before the evening matches began and got titles from Cody Lambert (106 pounds), Scout Skidgel (113) and Kyle Driscoll (152).
"The year started out pretty rough," Cascia Hall coach Ernie Jones said. "We've had a rough season. Those three champions have been steady," Jones said. "They've been right there."
Lambert earned a 2-0 decision against Mannford's Steven Cole in the 106-pound championship. Having also won a first-place medal at last year's event, Lambert got the lone points on a takedown with over a minute left in the final period.
Skidgel, a freshman who was a junior high champion last year, went 1:34 into the bout before pinning his foe, C.J. Carter of Oklahoma City Northwest, to become the 113-pound champion.
Driscoll added another tournament title for the season as he took a 3-1 decision against Jenks' Austin Eades.
Runner-up Owasso had one wrestler battling for a first-place medal. Teejay Aiono was victorious against Midwest City's Riley Smith with a 5-3 decision for the 195-pound title.
Berryhill made its presence known by winning two championships. Winners for the Chiefs were junior Jonce Blaylock (138) and senior Davey Dolan (145).
Blaylock forced a technical fall on Chandler's Blake Barrier at 5:15 into the match. Then Dolan showed why he is headed for Oklahoma State. The three-time state champion wasted little time in pinning Catoosa's Carren Fowler just over a half-minute into the first period.
In other matches, East Central's Mark Carter (126) went to work fast on Enid's Billy Groethe, dominating with several takedowns and eventually taking a major decision, 19-6.
The host Comets' lone wrestler in the finals was Bruce Inbody (182), who came away with a 10-7 win over Mannford's Luke May. Inbody got a pair of takedowns in the last 10 seconds to break a 6-6 tie.
Que Overton of Jenks captured the 285-pound championshipover Ada's Marwin Dickerson.
