Noble Travels to New York

Lastly, Noble High School in North Berwick, Maine traveled more than five fours to Saranac, New York to compete in the Nate Wood Memorial tournament at Saranac Central High School. The tournament, a classic run in the upper part of the Empire State, entered its 27th year and featured eight teams—Noble being the defending champions.

Participating Teams

*11/10 TOURNAMENT Top 25 Used

(25) Noble (ME)
Saranac (NY)
Peru (NY)
Ausable Valley (NY)
Massena (NY)
Ogdensburg Free Academy (NY)
Malone’s Franklin Academy (NY)
Mount Markham (NY)

Even though it was a small field, New York has plenty of wrestling talent, so for Noble to come out on top–especially in the fashion they did with300+ team points, four champions, and the most outstanding wrestler—is noteworthy.
