| Ted - Collinsville's High School Wrestling team is ranked #1 in 5A on okrankings.com preseason poll. This web site is sanctioned by OSSAA as the official ranking site for Oklahoma High School sports. This years' team will be as good as any in Oklahoma and will be exciting to watch. I encourage all here in Collinsville to come out this year and support a State Championship contender team. The HS kicks off at the Mid America Classic at Union HS on December 9th and 10th. It will be a great opportunity to see how the team matches up with major programs in the area with teams like Union, BA, Claremore, and other top programs. In addition, the tournament will have top programs from Texas and Kansas. -- Thanks. Jim Barton (12/1/2011) |
