The Guthrie and Deer Creek wrestling dual had plenty of built up along with a
conference championship and perhaps a trip to Dual State on the line.
5th ranked Deer Creek escaped with a 33-29 over the Jays and locks up a trip to
state, but will compete against Northwest Classen next week.
For Guthrie, they must quickly turn around today and Saturday and compete in the
Carl Albert Tournament.
The dual was back and forth with the Jays leading 29-27 heading into the final
match, but a Deer Creek pin wrapped up a win over the rising Guthrie program on
the Antler's home mat.
Guthrie drops their first dual of the season and is 2-1 this season. To view the
