Enid's Gonzalez earns bid to state wrestling tourney

Anonymous Enid News and Eagle The Enid News and Eagle Tue Feb 19, 2013, 10:29 PM CST

ENID, Okla. — Enid’s Anthony Gonzalez is headed to the state wrestling tournament.

Gonzalez, who placed fifth at 145 pounds at last weekend’s regional at Bixby, was added to the field when an eastern qualifier was ruled ineligible.

“That is good news,’’ said Enid coach Jory Dick. “I’m really excited for him. It’s something for him to wrestle at state as a freshman.

Gonzalez had been working out in anticipation of a wrestler having to drop out.

Gonzalez (13-9) will wrestle Evan Wilson of Midwest City (24-10), the western runner-up, in the first round Friday at Oklahoma City’s State Fair Arena.

That winner faces the winner between eastern champion Tanner Bailey of Broken Arrow (32-4) and Zac Julian of Mustang (29-11) in the semifinals. The losers face each other in consolations

Gonzalez has not faced Wilson this season. He is the first EHS freshman to make the state tournament.

He joins junior 126-pounder Billy Grothe and 220-pounder Jake Scott in the field. It’s the first time EHS has had three state qualifiers.

Scott reached the semifinals last season before losing two matches in consolations.

Jackson signs with Mid-America Christian
Jemarcus Jackson signed a letter of intent to play basketball on a scholarship at NAIA Division I Mid-America Christian University in Oklahoma City on Monday, ending a long wait for the Enid High senior, and a longer one for his nerves.
Jackson already was sweating thanks to a weighty training session just before his signing ceremony at the Enid High School food court, but that wasn’t the only reason he was “sweating like a dog” as he filled out the paperwork.

Aggies give D-II series a state flavor
A tip of the hat to Murray State College for winning the Plains District tournament this weekend to assure there will be an Oklahoma team in the upcoming NJCAA Division II World Series at David Allen Memorial Ballpark.
The Aggies, who were 5-0 against Northern Oklahoma College Enid this season, beat MCC-Longview 14-7 in the district championship game to take a 41-21 record into the tournament.
They are a team that should be easy for Enid fans to adopt as their own.
