METHUEN — For the second straight week, the gap separating Central Catholic’s wrestlers from Shawsheen Tech and a championship was excruciating.
The Raiders got a pair of wins from Cole Glynn at 113 pounds and Caden Chase but came up second to the champion Rams, 132.5-130.5 at the Massachusetts All-State Meet this weekend.
Along with the Raider travails, it was an historic weekend on the mat for area wrestlers.
We will have much more coverage, photos, results and the inside stories in Monday’s edition of The Eagle-Tribune and right back here at eagletribune.com.
For now, here are all the area placers from a long two days at the Klimas Fieldhouse.
