There are nine returning or past state champions and leading the way is Collinsville’s 3X state champion Canon Acklin.  Other returning state champions are Kaiden Herendeen (Guthrie), Jarrett Patty (Chickasha), Toby Shipman (Coweta) Eli Ramirez (Duncan), Braden Brown (Lawton Mac), Jayden Moore (Tahlequah), and Ritson Meyer (Elgin).  Hudson Henslick (Collinsville) and Dylan Bratt (Chickasha) both won state titles in 2022.  Patty, Shipman and Meyer were freshmen as they took the first big step in becoming 4X state champions.  

2023 Dual State champion Elgin appears to have the nod as the early favorite.  Elgin returns a very experienced team, led by state champion Ritson Meyer, 2X state placer and 2022 state runner-up Hunter Jackson, and 3rd place finishers Brice Martin and Colyn Donnelly….
