Friday

For most of the season the Hornets have dominated the middle to upper weight classes on their way to 17 wins so far this year. On Friday night the Hornets flipped the script a bit as they jumped out to a commanding 35-12 lead over Perham following a Preston Mayfield pin at 170 lbs., before holding on to a late charge by the Yellowjackets for a 35-30 win. 

Cash Osterman wasted little time to get the Hornets on the scoreboard as he picked up a first period fall over Dresden Wegscheid at 106 lbs. Liam Hamm followed with a major decision at 113 lbs., before the Yellowjackets picked up a pin and decision of their own to make the score 10-9 in favor of Frazee.

That’s when the Hornets went on a bit of a run as Cade Nagel won by a pin late in the second period at 132 lbs. and Bailey Peichel won a critical 5-4 decision at 138 lbs. to make the score 19-9 in favor of Frazee. 

Following an 8-6 decision for Carson Byer of Perham at 145 lbs., Tyler Moe won by a pin at 152 lbs., Jake Nagel won by a major decision at 160 lbs. and Mayfield picked up a pin in just 16 seconds at 170 lbs. to give the Hornets a commanding lead. 

Perham won the next five matches, but it wasn’t enough as Frazee held on for a 35-30 win.
