Bryan Station’s Jahvon Frazier capped his senior year with most outstanding wrestler honors and his third straight Region 6 Championships title in the 215 weight class at Frederick Douglass High School on Saturday.
It took the longest match of his career to do it.
Frazier, a football standout and Akron signee, quickly pinned his first two opponents of the day to reach the finals.
But in the title match, Frazier leaned against Great Crossing’s Joaquin Solis for three two-minute rounds and a one-minute “sudden victory” overtime only to come to a 1-1 draw. That forced two more 30-second tiebreaker periods.
“There was nothing really I could do until I got him tired. We’re both equal strength,” Frazier explained. “I just had it planned out that I was going to tire him out and once he was tired enough I was going to try something and it worked out.”
Frazier’s takedown in the tiebreaker round earned him a 6-2 victory and his fourth trip to the state meet where he’ll be joined by teammates Joel Muleva, Locke Loftus and Skylar Loftus, who all finished in the top four of their respective classes.
