Maroons dominate at Dual State

Blackwell Maroons Dominate to Capture 2025 Class 3A Dual State Wrestling Championship

TULSA – The Blackwell Maroons stormed through the Class 3A Dual State Tournament, leaving no doubt as to which team was the best in Oklahoma. On Saturday at Tulsa Union High School, the Maroons claimed their second title in three years with an emphatic 53-18 victory over the Marlow Outlaws in the championship dual.
After narrowly edging Marlow for the 2023 title and suffering a heartbreaking loss to the Outlaws in the 2024 final, Blackwell’s wrestlers came into this year’s tournament on a mission. From the opening match of the quarterfinals to the final pin in the championship round, the Maroons showcased a relentless determination that saw them dismantle their opponents by a combined score of 176-44.
