The state wrestling championship unfolded at Mt. Ararat Saturday. The Eagles played host to 20 other teams and hundreds of spectators even as a blizzard descended on southern Maine. For the fourth year in a row, Marshwood took home the top team prize, while Noble broke Massabesic’s three-year hold on second. The Mustangs finished fourth.
Windham picked up a pair of fourth-place finishes at the event, one at 126 in Jesse Malier and another at 145 in Dom Cancelarich.
