Frazee dropped a pair of matches to a pair of top 10 ranked teams at the Royalton-Upsala triangular on Thursday night.

In their opening match of the night, the Hornets fell to 10th ranked Royalton-Upsala by a score of 30-27. 

Bailey Peichel put the Hornets on the scoreboard with a 7-3 decision at 120 lbs., before Christian Carlson followed with a 4-1 decision at 126 lbs.

Jake Nagel won Frazee’s third straight decision when he secured a 6-3 decision over Will Gorecki by a 6-3 score. The decision made the team score 9-9.

Following a pair of Royalton-Upsala decisions, Preston Mayfield secured a pin over Eli Psyck at the 3:02 mark of their 152 lbs. match to make the score 15-15. 

Seventh ranked Gabe Gorecki of Royalton-Upsala secured a 10-4 decision over Brock Barlund and Aiden Olson followed with a pin at 170 lbs. to make the score 25-14 in favor of the host team. 

The Hornets went on to secure three straight wins, including a 12-8 decision by Daniel Graham at 182 lbs. and a 2-0 decision by Howard Solem at 195 lbs. over Austin Wensmann.

Byron Kropuenske put the Hornets in front by a score of 27-24 when he secured a pin at the 23 second mark of his match against Bryce Holm to make the score 27-24 in favor of Frazee.

Unfortunately, waiting in the wings was fourth ranked Mason Nowitzki of Royalton-Upsala who was able to come away with a pin at heavyweight to put Royalton-Upsala in front for good by a score of 30-27.

In its other match of the night, Frazee won three straight matches by fall from 138-152 lbs., but ultimately fell to seventh ranked Bertha-Hewitt-Verndale-Parkers Prairie by a score of 54-18. 

After BHVPP won the opening five matches of the night, 10th ranked Kaden Hiemenz secured a first period fall over Blake Sumstad at 138 lbs. to make the score 23-6 in favor of BHVPP. 

Tyler Moe followed with Frazee’s second straight first period fall when he defeated Gauge Malone at 145 lbs. to make the score 23-12. The pin occurred at the 54 second mark of the match. 

Just 4 seconds into the second period, Preston Mayfield was able to secure a pin over seventh ranked Justin Koehn to make the score 23-18 in favor of the Raiders. It was the final match the Hornets won in the dual as they fell by a score of 54-18. 

The pair of losses drops the Hornets to 4-7 on the season. This week they will host a triangular against Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa and United Clay Becker. The first match will get underway at 5 p.m.
