Heil relishes last match in Gallagher-Iba Arena d ekota G r egory editor-in-chief @ d e kota gregory

Dean Heil said goodbye Sunday.

Heil, Oklahoma State’s 141-pounder, wrestled his last match in Gallagher-Iba Arena in the Cowboys’ 31-6 win against Bedlam rival Oklahoma. After sixth-ranked Heil earned a 15-6 major decision against the Sooners’ Mike Longo, he stayed on the mat after his hand was raised.

It hasn’t been unusual for Heil to linger on the mat after matches this season, but it has been for different reasons. He always expects more as a two-

time national champion. He has sat on his knees, looking down at the orange mat after disappointing matches, before walking past coach John Smith to the tunnel.

But Sunday, Heil was standing. He took a victory lap around the same orange mat with his hands in the air, waving to the fans who gave him a standing ovation.

“Just saying goodbye, thank you for supporting me,” Heil said. “(The lap was) just a little bit of everything. I won’t ever get the chance to do that again unless they have the (Team USA) trials here. Who knows, but as of right now, it’s the last time I’ll ever wrestle

in front of a crowd here in Gallagher.”

It has been an unusual senior season for Heil, who has a 20-4 record after notching

an undefeated tally last year.

His final home match was also out of character.

Heil is known for keeping matches close with his defen-

sive style. But he stretched the score to a major decision Sunday. Heil scored a takedown in the last five seconds of the match to secure bonus points.

He was aggressive from start to finish, recording a pair of takedowns and a four-point nearfall to lead 8-1 after the first period.

“I really wanted to get some type of bonus points in that

match,” Heil said. “I’ve been feeling pretty good. I just gotta keep pushing from here on out.”

Although Heil’s match seemed different, Smith is still always the same. As Heil’s coach, Smith has constantly been tough on Heil during his career, especially this season.

“I got emotional he didn’t wrestle well,” Smith said.

“It doesn’t bother me. I like to see the guys wrestle their last match in Gallagher, and wrestle it well. (It’s) great memories and no regrets.

We’ve had some good fortune with our seniors as they exited Gallagher. I just expect that.”

Oklahoma State coach John Smith (left) congratulates Dean Heil after Heil defeated Oklahoma’s Mike Longo on Sunday in Gallagher-Iba Arena. It was Heil’s last match in GIA. STORY CONTINUEd from PAGE 2

Sunday’s win was Heil’s third straight, but that doesn’t compare to his 55-match winning streak, which started during his redshirt-sophomore season and included a 32-0 record during his junior campaign.

That run ended when Wyoming’s then-No. 4 Bryce Meredith beat Heil 2-1 in the first tiebreaker at Cheyenne, Wyoming. Heil was 3-0 against Meredith before then, including wins in the NCAA Tournament and Big 12 Championships finals.

Heil then lost his next match to then-No. 4 Kevin Jack of North Carolina State, 4-3.

Heil responded with three consecutive wins before Missouri’s then-No. 3 Jaydin Eierman pinned Heil for his first home loss since Feb. 19, 2016. Two days later, Heil lost again at GallagherIba Arena to unranked Ian

Parker of Iowa State, 3-1.

Heil beat eighth-ranked Josh Alber of Northern Iowa 4-1 the next weekend to start his current winning streak.

“I’m working on it,” Heil said. “(I’m) still working.

I’m still making progress.”

Smith was the first one who asked about Heil after the win against OU. Media had to wait nearly an hour to speak to Heil, asking his coach and teammate about him during the wait.

“He’s Dean,” OSU 184-pounder Keegan Moore said. “He’s provided so much leadership for us.

Dean, personally, (has) been there for me. This practice room is tough. Sometimes you get down on yourself, and Dean was there. He’s been there to lift you up and lift up spirits and talk to you, make you feel better about yourself. It’s been great having him.”

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2018

Heil was one of the last wrestlers to get back to OSU’s locker room after the dual. He was on the Gallagher-Iba Arena floor longer than usual, almost seeming like he was trying to extend the moment with his father, who traveled from Ohio for his son’s last two duals in Stillwater. Heil then took extra time in the wrestling room, coming out of the door after his teammates and coaches had already left.

“After the match on Friday, it was starting to sink in a little bit,” Heil said.

“It really started sinking in going into the dual today.

A lot of emotion. I’m done.

That’s it.”

Cowboys top Oklahoma in dominant fashion Je r e my Kolok

entertainment editor

@je r emyko lok

The lone Bedlam outcome of this season displayed who is the true alpha program when it comes to wrestling in Oklahoma.

Gallagher-Iba Arena played host, as the Oklahoma State wrestling team faced Oklahoma in what was, contrary to tradition, the only meeting between the in-state rivals this season, which OSU won 31-6.

The Sooners refused to schedule two dual meets with OSU this season, breaking a tradition dating to the 1947-48 season.

Despite the break in series

tradition, the Cowboys kept their own tradition alive: their dominance against the Sooners.

The Cowboys have won 140 of the 177 Bedlam wrestling matchups, including 14 of the last 15.

But the attraction of Bedlam brought the most impressive non-basketball crowd Gallagher-Iba Arena has seen all season, and the Cowboys put on a show for that crowd.

The Cowboys’ dominance began at 125 pounds, as No. 7 Nick Piccininni defeated No. 16 Christian Moody.

The Cowboys then received a chain of major decisions at 133, 141 and 149 pounds from Kaid Brock, Dean Heil and

OSU 184-pound wrestler Keegan More pinned OU’s Matt Waddell on Sunday in Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Boo Lewallen, respectively, to take an early 15-0 lead.

Jonce Blaylock, OSU’s 157-pounder, took OSU’s first loss of the afternoon to Justin Thomas, and Chandler Rogers followed with an uneventful

victory. OU’s Yoanse Mejias then defeated Hestin Lamons at 174 pounds.

OSU coach John Smith said he wanted to see some “wow moments” when it came to Bedlam, and Keegan Moore

delivered.

Moore, a 184-pounder, pinned Matt Waddell in 40 seconds.

“It was really exciting to get the fall,” Moore said. “It means something to me.”

It was Moore’s first Bedlam experience, and he said though he’s not a native Oklahoman, he realizes how big the rivalry is.

“I definitely know about all the history about Bedlam,” Moore said. “... It was just cool for my first experience. It was great.

“Today, it’s a great day to be a Cowboy.”

Andrew Marsden, OSU’s 197-pounder, then beat OU’s Andrew Dixon 9-6, and Derek

White followed with a dominating performance against Connor Webb at heavyweight.

White won by a 21-6 technical fall in the second period.

The Cowboys have one regular-season dual left, as they head west to take on Fresno State on Sunday. Then it’ll be the Big 12 Championships in Tulsa.

“It seems like we’re a little choppy in our matches,” Smith said. “One thing we just need to focus on is a little bit more of a rhythm.”

Tristan Meraut’s between-the-legs shot failed.

That summed up the No. 12 Oklahoma State men’s tennis team’s 4-0 loss to No. 1 Wake Forest on Sunday afternoon in Stillwater.

With the loss to the Demon Deacons, OSU fell to 8-1, and the defeat also signified two straight seasons that Wake Forest handed the Cowboys their first loss. The Cowboys lost 4-3 last season.

Two days after OSU coach Jay Udwadia won his 100th game in a victory against Northwestern, the Cowboys got off to a slow, tentative start.

The Cowboys’ play in doubles was a sign of how the match would go, as the formidable duo of Luke Hammond and Julian Cash lost 6-4 against Christian MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2018

The slow start in doubles carried to singles, where five of the six Cowboys lost their first set. Jurence Mendoza’s 6-4 first-set victory was the only bright spot.

six ITA ranked players, ranging from No. 6 to No. 112. Two of Wake Forest’s ranked players, No. 62 Seraphim and No. 78 Yuval Solomon, weren’t even included in the Demon Deacons’ singles lineup.

Dubinski, 94th in the latest ITA rankings, had a tough matchup against No. 6 Chrysochos on Court 2, falling 6-1, 6-1, as Chrysochos seemed to have the ability to place the ball wherever he wanted.

Despite the rough first sets, though, OSU looked poised to make a push in the second frames after Meraut, a senior, captured a break point on Court 3 and Cash made a push against Borna Gojo.

But No. 125 Luke Hammond’s 6-4, 6-4 loss on Court 6 and Mathieu Scaglia’s 6-1, 6-4 falter on Court 4 sealed the victory for Wake Forest, which improved to 5-0.

and Scags, they were pushing through,” Udwadia said. “And then I thought at No. 1, Julian was getting his mojo back, (and) the other guy was getting a little rattled.

“I thought if there was a little bit (of) switch here and there, it would’ve given the crowd something to cheer for, and we had a huge crowd today. So close but a little too late if you’re going to start off that poorly.”

Students perform in 2018 Concert of Soloists I saac Den n is Staff reporter @ o c olly

Some of the best musicians at Oklahoma State University performed Friday in the Seretean Center during the 2018 Concert of Soloists.

Each soloist went through a vigorous audition process. Noah Mennenga, Grant Harper, Samantha Kerns and Jason Ports were picked as the soloists for the concert. They each performed a composition with a full orchestra.

The first piece featured Mennenga on trumpet. During Mennenga’s piece, the trumpet’s lively sounds contrasted with the deeper sounds of the orchestra.

Harper was the vocal soloist for the second piece, and he sang the entire composition in German.

Kerns, the third soloist, was introduced as one of the most prominent cello musicians in Oklahoma.

The final piece of the night was Potts on trombone. The piece opened with an intense solo section and led into a blazingly-fast second movement that called for 16th notes for almost the entire length of the movement. At the end of his solo, Potts was physically red from playing

that fast for so long.

During Friday’s concert, some of OSU’s best performers got the spotlight to show off their talents. With multiple standing ovations, it was obvious their hard work paid off.

“I am always blown away by the level of commitment and enthusiasm that the soloist and orchestra bring to every rehearsal,” Tomas Dickey, OSU’s director of orchestral studies, said. “They always seem to find a little extra energy to be able to kick it up a notch.”

Although audiences got to hear the end product Friday, the competition to select the solo performers took place in November.

“It was a lot of pressure for a lot of us to have something memorized and be able to perform it at such a high level,” Kerns said.

“The amount of prepa-

Golden Chick, at 116 E. McElroy Road, opened Wednesday. It’s the 183rd Golden Chick franchise.

Golden Chick expands Stillwater chicken empire T.c . Brewster staff reporter @tbrew2 8

Golden Chick believes it can set itself apart from the other chicken tender franchises in Stillwater.

The new location, which opened Wednesday, is at 116 E. McElroy Road, only blocks from Oklahoma State University.

Franchise district director Bobby Brannon said he believes Golden Chick offers something different from the other chicken places in the area.

“Our chicken is differentiated from a lot of our competitors because we marinate our chicken,” Brannon said. “It is a salt and mild garlic marinade that people just love.”

Golden Chick’s menu features a variety of chicken dishes and traditional southern comfort foods.

Signature items include

Golden Fried Chicken, Golden Roast Chicken and Golden Tenders.

Customers can order a-la-carte or choose from a variety of combos that come with a choice of a side, one of Golden Chick’s signature rolls and a drink.

The side items to choose from include battered French fries, macaroni and cheese and dirty rice, among others.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce Golden Chick’s delicious one-of-a-kind dishes and famous rolls to Stillwater,” Tony Nemer, franchisee and owner, said in a press release.

The Stillwater location is the 183rd Golden Chick restaurant and the second franchise for GC Ponca City LLC, which Nemer and his wife, Sissi, own and operate.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2018

Nemer said they also have plans to become involved with the Stillwater community. Along with providing 18 jobs for the local community, Nemer said they are hoping to get involved with the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce and local Stillwater schools and churches.

With dine-in, drive-thru, catering and home delivery service capabilities, the Golden Chick restaurant chain has more than 180 locations throughout Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Pakistan, according to the company’s website.

The Stillwater location is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
