The Medomak Valley wrestling team won a match while hosting a six-school dual meet on Saturday, Dec. 6 in Waldoboro. The shorthanded Panthers notched a 37-36 victory over Gardiner and lost 42-32 to Maine Central Institute, 54-27 to Cony, 59-11 to Monmouth, and 48-36 to Mt. Blue. The Panthers also competed against an independent wrestler from Maranacook, who did not register a team score.
Seniors Shamus Pease (215 pound weight class) and Grady Pease (190) both won all five of their matches to lead the Panthers. Cole Bales (285) won four out of five matches.
The Panthers were missing multiple wrestlers due to illness, injury, and academic challenges and had to forfeit several matches, especially in the lighter weight classes.
“We hope to be back at full strength in time for the next meet,” said assistant coach Jason Pease.
