High school wrestlers grab precious final few mat opportunities

The Midcoast high school wrestling regular season has taken hold and is about to conclude, as teenage mat athletes look ahead to league, regional, state, all-state and New England competitions.

There still are a handful of dual-matches for the area’s five teams — namely, Camden Hills of Rockport, Oceanside of Rockland, Medomak Valley of Waldoboro, Belfast and Mount View of Thorndike — and on Saturday, Jan. 21 those squads were in action, including three against one another in the Lion-hosted meet.
