Bonny Eagle’s wrestling team took on two of the top wrestling teams in the state last week when the Scots faced off with Noble and Massabesic.
Bonny Eagle and Noble met in a dual meet on Wednesday, Dec. 12, with the Knights scoring a 53-21 win. The Scots had wins at 103 where Ryan Cook won a 6-0 decision and at 112 where Dalton Groeger continued his strong early season with a 7-1 victory.
Steve Martin earned a pin at 160 pounds and Justin Labreck won a 9-5 decision at 215. The Scots’ other victory came at 189 where Joe Layte picked up a forfeit win. The teams shared a double forfeit at 285.
On Saturday, the Scots joined Massabesic as they took part in a tri-meet at Windham.
