Recap: 78th Geary Tournament

Once again, the iconic Geary Tournament provided drama and outstanding wrestling as Stillwater crowned an incredible eight champions to win the team title in a tight battle with Edmond North.

You would think going a perfect eight for eight in the championship finals (with six bonus point wins) and adding four other placers that Stillwater would have run away with the team title.
