Biddeford/TA beat Deering/Cheverus, 60-24; Sanford 50-26 and Windham 71-16. Sanford beat Windham 54-23. And Windham beat Deering/Cheverus 48-23.
Windham head coach Jason Dryburgh expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance.
“[It’s going] pretty good,” he said midway through the proceedings. “We’re a little undermanned; we lost our heavyweights, dealing with injuries and sickness. So we’re trying to get through that little bump, hopefully getting ready for regionals.”
Being undermanned means Windham forfeited quite a few matchups, putting them in a points-wise hole against the bigger, healthier squads. Nevertheless, Dryburgh thinks his winners looked “sharp.”
“You can’t ask for more than that. Even if they took a loss, everybody’s been aggressive and smart on the mat,” he said.
“Our veterans are doing fine,” Sanford head coach Nate Smith said, “and our rookies are struggling.”
Likewise, Smith said the Spartans’ Saturday performance was indicative of their season as a whole.
“We have a couple good freshmen at the lower weights,” Smith added optimistically, “Kyle Sanborn and Travis Dion, but other than that, our rookies are learning – they’re learning.”
Smith also mentioned being down a man, specifically his heavyweight wrestler.
Biddeford’s next competition is another multi-school meet, this one at Scarborough. Bonny Eagle will also be there; athletes hit the mats at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 1. Windham hosts Kennebunk and Westbrook, also on the 1st, but at 9 o’clock. Sanford hosts Noble and Portland, again on Feb. 1 at 10 a.m.
