A win over a big rival can overshadow just about any loss during a season. So Frazee’s 35-30 win over Perham on Friday night will be what the wrestlers remember most about a tough three match stretch on Thursday and Friday night, not necessarily a pair of tough losses to Staples-Motley and Becker on Thursday night. 

The Hornets are gearing up for the home stretch of their regular season beginning this week when Frazee hosts Fosston and West Central Area in a triangular on Thursday night, before traveling to Mahnomen/Waubun on Friday night in a dual. 

Thursday

Frazee took a pair of touch losses on Thursday night, but the pair of duals themselves were much closer than the final score may appear.

Frazee fell to Becker by a score of 46-20 after Becker won five of the final seven matches of the night by either a fall or forfeit. 

The Hornets secured a major decision from Christian Peichel at 114 lbs. to give Frazee a brief 4-3 lead. Becker won the next two matches, before Cash Osterman secured a major decision over Jake Rosenow at 139 lbs. by a 12-2 major decision. Becker would go on to win the next four matches before Tanner Moe and Cade Nagel secured back-to-back pins at 189 lbs. and 215 lbs. 

In their match against second ranked Staples-Motley, the Hornets were unable to get on the scoreboard, but dropped four decisions by just one point and another by two points to come out on the short end of a 52-0 loss.
