Four Oklahoma Girls Claim Titles at Fall Brawl in Kansas City

The 2026 Fall Brawl Tournament gave girls wrestlers from Oklahoma an opportunity to get some work in while preparing for bigger tournaments this fall.

Some were getting some work in before the high school folkstyle season, while others were getting ready for big folkstyle tournaments like the Super 32 Challenge and Preseason Nationals.

Saturday’s Fall Brawl Tournament at Staley High School in Kansas City drew competitors from around the Midwest, including Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

The tournament featured 128 high school girls wrestlers spread across 14 weight classes. Oklahoma came away with four champions and 10 placers.

Below is a breakdown of how the top placers from Oklahoma fared in each weight division:

100: Corn’s Tory Rice had a strong tournament. She pinned Grain Valley’s Gianna Robker in the semifinals and used two takedowns to win 6-2 against Kansas’ Olivia Worden in the championship match.

105: Tuttle’s Kylee Ooton won by fall in 59 seconds against Arkansas’ Celes Oliver in the semifinals to set up a championship match against Corn’s Emy Rice. In that bout, Ooton earned a pin in 1:31 to capture her bracket championship.

Rice finished second. She reached the final with tech fall wins over Kansas’ Lainie Galvan and Giavanna Ferrizzi before pinning Drea Kruse in the semifinals.

110: Noble’s Peyton McElfresh made it to the semifinals, where she was pinned by eventual champion Farynn Rhees of Missouri. McElfresh bounced back to win her last two matches, including a 16-0 tech fall against Nebraska’s Alicia Marfileno in the third-place match, to finish third.

120: Claremore’s McKinley Gillispie made it to the semifinals before losing to eventual champion Lillian Goetz by pin. In the consolation bracket, she pinned Kansas’ Myla Bridgewater but lost to Kansas’ Sage Peterson by pin in 57 seconds to finish in fourth place.

130: Westmoore’s Ranelle Smith won by fall in the third period of her semifinal match against Illinois’ Cora Jordan before moving on to face Missouri’s Temperance Lowe. The match was a barnburner, and Smith won 8-7 in the tiebreaker to earn first place.

145: Blanchard’s KyRee Annesley finished her round-robin bracket with a 2-2 record to place third. Her wins included a 10-6 decision over Westmoore’s Addison Cole. Cole went 1-3 and placed fourth.

155: Broken Arrow’s Cali Bittner finished in fourth place. She went 2-2 and ended her day with a pinfall loss to Arkansas’ Rebecca Gonzalez in the third-place bout.
