Libby Greenchain wrestler Jace DeShazer capped his senior season with his third straight Montana High School Association wrestling title last weekend at MetraPark in Billings.
DeShazer shut out Miles City senior Easton DeJong, 12-0, in the 205-pound Class A finals to secure the three-peat. He’s only the second Greenchain member to win three titles and the first since J.R. Rebo was a state champion from 2001 to 2003.
DeShazer opened with a pin in 1:04 of Lockwood’s Trey Daly. Next came Havre’s Pierce Caplette and DeShazer won by technical fall in 3:44, 16-1. Lockwood’s Seth Meyer was DeShazer’s next victim as the Libby senior won a 7-0 decision in the semifinals.
