The Blue Blazes wrestling team is looking particularly strong this season, having kicked off their schedule with six straight wins (including preseason).
Most recently, reports coach John Nicholas, Westbrook won the Gardiner Tiger Tourney, scoring 130 to edge past Nokomis. Max Storm took second in his weight class (132), Kyle Hanson second (152), Andrew Rogers (126) third, Jon Jacques third, Brandon Conley third (160), Brandon Lajoie third (195), Mikiel Lepage third, and Chris Kennie fourth (285). Abraham Eaton, a Gorham student who wrestles with the Blazes, took second.
The Blazes have also logged victories over Biddeford (43-42 in a tiebreak), Windham (48-18), Bonny Eagle (52-24), Cheverus (59-9) and Deering (48-21).
A related note: Jan. 24 is on the table as the potential date for the Westbrook Invitational Wrestling Tournament, originally scheduled for Dec. 6, but postponed due to inclement weather.
