State Duals: 5A boys

Azle picked up its second-ever state duals championship Friday night at the Kay Yeager Coliseum in Wichita Falls.

The Hornets’ 4-0 march to the state crown ended with a 42-32 win over Frisco Centennial in a Dallas-Fort Worth area finals. 

Azle won its first state title in 2017 and incidentally,y the opponent was also Frisco Centennial.

The Hornets got off to a good start in the finals with a win at 132 by Tyler Yancey — an 8-1 win over Enrique Uribe. 

Chase Yancey (138) followed with a tech fall win and Wyatt Hicks (144) got a pin in 9 seconds.

Up 14-0, a pin by Landin Evans (150) put Centennial in a 20-0 deficit.

Azle won four of the next six to lock up the title, which made the Titans winning the final four matches not have an impact on the outcome.

Azle also got wins from Tye O’Neal (165) won by a pin, Elijah Bryan (175) by injury time, Roman Frasier (215) by pin and Devin Wingfield (285) by a major decision.

Gabriel Moulden’s pin at 157 was the first win for Centennial. Bryce Kampschneider followed with a pin in his 190-pound match.
