Justin Kothe had to win the last bout of the semi-finals (at 220 pounds) against Altus or the Cardinals would be eliminated. Justin responded with a 6-4 victory to send Collinsville into the finals -vs- Coweta. | |||||||||||||||||||
This was the reaction on the Collinsville bench in the closing moments of Justin Kothe's Altus bout. | |||||||||||||||||||
Kothe's heroics were make possible by wins -vs Altus by Walker, Tanner, Connor. Ryan Haymaker, Arnold, and Roc Robbins. Each was critical but none more exciting than Roc Robbins' pin of his Altus opponent to pull Collinsville within a single point at 23-24. Robbins also pinned his Piedmont and Coweta opponents. | |||||||||||||||||||
Justin Kothe started the Piedmont match with a 3-2 win in front of good sized Collinsville crowd that traveled to Shawnee Saturday. | |||||||||||||||||||

No other Oklahoma community's 5A wrestling team has won a state championship since Coach Weston Harding took over as Collinsville wrestling's head coach for the 2011 season. His team will be defending their other format state title Feb. 27-28, 2015, in OKC, following Feb 20-21 regionals at Tahlequah. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cody Fox was ready but didn't make a mat appearance as he drew a forfeit against Piedmont. Collinsville didn't send out a heavyweight against Coweta as they already had the title wrapped up. Jake Douglass wrestled at 285 against Altus. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stillwater needed an overtime win in the final bout to take the 6A title over Broken Arrow. |
