That’s a wrap. 6A Boys recap

Last year, Allen saw a streak of 14 straight team titles end.

The Eagles got back to the top of the podium with 159 points in the 6A hunt, beating Arlington Martin by a point.

Martin beat Allen to win the title last year, but it flipped back this year.

A win by Aiden Cooley (190) wrapped up the win thanks to a head-to-head win against Martin.

Allen also won championships with Izayiah Chavez (120), Cayden Rios (144), and Carter Nekvapil (165). Two other Allen wrestlers won in the semifinals to get to the championship match, though only one wrestled in the finals — Cayden Campbell.

Jair Jackson-Bey was disqualified after the semifinals but still got his 20 1/2 points he earned before his dismissal from the Berry Center in Cypress.

The Woodlands College Park took third in the team hunt with 118 1/2 points to take the final trophy. Southlake Carroll was fourth with 70 points.

Individually, the highlight was Arlington Martin’s Isaak Arevalo earning his fourth straight championship. He became only the fifth wrestler to accomplish that feat and the third to do so in a two-class system.

We recap each of the weight class champs and top six placers, as we did with the other three classes.

106

Southlake’s Dylan Ota repeated as a state champion and the junior now has three all-state medals in three trips to state.

The finals turned out like the rankings had going into state with No. 1 Ota facing off against Hector Ortiz of El Paso Eastwood. Ota won by a 7-1 decision — not much of a difference than his 9-1 major decision over Ortiz in the Region 1-6A meet the week prior to this rematch.

Ota was 45-3 this year and will take a 32-match winning streak into 2025-26.

Dallas Jesuit’s Kingston Stephens took third with a 16-8 major decision over Keller’s Drew Brinkmeier. Both lost in the first round and worked their way through the consolation bracket.

In the fifth-place match, Houston Clear Lake’s Fernando Morales beat Keller Central’s Matthew Govea by a 6-3 decision. Both had reached the semifinals but lost after falling into the consolation bracket.

113

In what was the first of a few upsets along the way, Dripping Springs’ Jackson Shipley won the 113-pound title with a 7-3 decision over Campbell from Allen.

Shipley got takedowns in the first and second period to get all the points he needed for the win.

Campbell was the defending state champion and ranked No. 1. Shipley was ranked No. 2 heading into state. The two met at the Texas Outlaw Tournament in Allen in January and Campbell won by a 3-1 UTB.

The loss was one of two on the year for Shipley, who was 32-2. He was a runner-up last year at 106 and now has a title for the Tigers.

Katy’s Adrian Fierros earned his second straight medal by taking third for the Tigers. He entered the tournament undefeated and lost in the semifinals against Campbell.
