Jake Nagel put an exclamation point on his 50th career win as the sophomore defeated Brien Poser of Otter Tail Central by a tech fall on Thursday night. Nagel won by a 16-0 score and put the Hornets up by a 23-6 team score. 

The win helped Frazee earn a split in a three team triangular in Detroit Lakes. The Hornets defeated OTC by a score of 53-27, but fell to Detroit Lakes by a score of 43-18. 

Cade Nagel got the Hornets on the scoreboard right out of the gate against OTC by defeating Elijah Fronning by fall, just 12 seconds into their 106 lbs. match. Bailey Peichel needed just 14 seconds to defeat Ryan Despard of OTC, before Christian Carlson won by forfeit at 126 lbs. 

Following Nagel’s tech fall, which put Frazee in front by a score of 23-6, Reed Leabo of OTC secured a first period fall at 138 lbs. to make the score 23-12 in favor of the Hornets.

Tyler Moe answered the pin with a fall of his own at the 2:32 mark of his match against Brennen Volkmann of OTC at 145 lbs. 

Just 3 seconds into the second period, Brock Barlund secured a pin over Jaxon Rich of OTC at 160 lbs. and Daniel Graham put the Hornets in front 41-24 with a injury win over Will Ehlert at 182 lbs. 

Following an OTC decision at 195 lbs., Byron Kropuenske needed just 50 seconds to secure a pin at 220 lbs. and Xander Kohler made quick work over Jonny Fielding of OTC as he secured a pin in just 13 seconds at heavyweight to end the match by a score of 53-27. 

In the second match of the night, the Hornets fell to 11th ranked in Class AA Detroit Lakes by a score of 43-18. 

Cade Nagel got the Hornets on the scoreboard with an 8-4 decision at 106 lbs. Following an open weight for Frazee at 113 lbs., Peichel secured a fall at the 2:40 mark of his 120 lbs. match. A Tyson Ullyott, of Detroit Lakes, decision at 126 lbs., tied the match up at 9-9, before Jake Nagel secured his second win of the night by a 9-2 decision at 132 lbs.

Unfortunately, Detroit Lakes won seven of the final nine matches to come out on top of Frazee by a score of 43-18. 

The lone wins for the Hornets during that stretch came from Preston Mayfield, who won a 4-3 decision at 152 lbs. to tie the match up at 15-15 and a 6-4 decision from Kropuenske at 195 lbs. 

In the other match of the night, Detroit Lakes defeated OTC by a score of 58-13. 

With the split the Hornets are 4-3 on the season. They will travel to Royalton on Thursday for a triangular against Bertha-Hewitt-Verndale and Royalton.
