Gonzalez surprises at state

OKLAHOMA CITY — Enid’s Anthony Gonzalez surprised Midwest City’s Evan Wilson 5-3 in a first-round 145-pound match at the Class 6A wrestling tournament Friday.

Gonzalez was pinned by Tanner Bailey of Broken Arrow in 1:35 in the semifinals, but he remained alive for a possible medal today.

He will wrestle Jenks’ Jake Pattinson in a consolation semifinal. The two have split in matches this season.

Gonzalez (14-10), who was notified Tuesday he would be in the field, took down Wilson in overtime for the victory.

“He wrestled a really sound match,’’ said Enid coach Jory Dick. “You would expect him to have some nerves, but he wrestled like he has been doing this his entire life. He’s just a goer who doesn’t know how to lose.’’

Enid senior 220-pounder Jake Scott, wrestling at state for the second time, had a disappointing end to his career.

Scott (21-7) was pinned by Edmond North’s Andrew Dixon in 1:46 in the first round and by Bixby’s Nic Roller in 1:47 in consolations.

Junior 126-pounder Billy Grothe (25-11) also was two and out. He lost to Kendall Randall of Westmoore 6-2 in the first round and to Muskogee’s Matt Acee in consolations, 3-2.

Acee used an escape in sudden victory for the win. Randall had two takedowns on the edge of the mat.

“Billy wrestled well,’’ Dick said. “I’m super proud that we put three guys in the state tournament.’’

Hearing delayed in Gundy, contractor suit
It’s the case of contractor and the coach.
On March 21, 2011, trim carpenter Brent Lee Loveland of Choctaw wore a gray shirt with red lettering that read “Oklahoma Baseball” to Oklahoma State University football coach Mike Gundy’s home, which was under construction near Stillwater.
Gundy and his wife, Kristen, found the shirt offensive and the OSU coach fired Loveland on the spot.
Loveland filed a breach of contract lawsuit in August 2011 against the Gundys in Payne County District Court.
A pretrial hearing scheduled Monday in Logan County has been delayed until July 29 or 30, Loveland’s attorney Edward White of Edmond said Wednesday.
