Oklahoma Rampage 36 - Archer, GA 30

[Text first published June 22nd, 2014.]

The Oklahoma Rampage pulled off a major upset by defeating the Georgia powerhouse Archer Tigers in the best dual meet of the day.  The Rampage opened up a 30-12 lead after the first 10 matches, and Archer's 12 points included matches won by their state champion Bullard brothers.  But then Archer went on an 18-point run with two pins and two decisions, netting the score at 30-30 with one match remaining.  Archer put forth a junior who placed third in the 2014 Georgia 6A 106 lbs. state championships.  The Rampage sent sophomore Levi Youngwolfe of Pawhuska High school who, in the 2013 Oklahoma 3A state championships at 113 lbs., went two-and-out.  But Youngwolfe was not fazed and caught his opponent's' head and ankle from the neutral position, turned it into a cradle and finished the match in 47 seconds (photo left), as well as the meet at 36-30.

Do not count Archer out at 3-1.  Four of the Rampage's decisions were by three or less points and the Bullard brothers are quite capable of back-to-back pins.  Their road will not be easy as they have to face one of the other teams that went 4-0 on Saturday, but it would be unwise to consider them as anything but a top-10 nationally ranked team.  In their victories Archer won with scores of 78-0, 60-21 and 64-21.
