Wrestling: Lowell 44, New Bedford 22
Much like the first match of the night here in Marlborough, Lowell took a back-and-forth battle and turned it into a laugher.
Lowell won four consecutive weight classes starting at 152 pounds, totaling three pins in that span, and running away with a 44-22 win over New Bedford in the Division 1 team wrestling state championship at Marlborough.
The Whalers led on four occasions early and trailed just 21-19 after Kyle Veale won a decision at 145 pounds. Lowel's Nick Bedard (152) and James Downing (160) produced back-to-back pins as Lowell opened some breathing room. Colm Sullivan registered a technical fall for five more points and Dave Hubert added another pin to make it 44-19.
Here are the results:
- 103 pounds: Corey Melo (NB) decisioned Andrew Gauthier (L), 11-1

This blogger might want to review your comment before posting it.
Look for updates from:
- Bob Holmes: A Reading resident (Go Rockets!) and Boston College graduate, Holmes is the Boston Globe High School Sports Editor. We remind you now that his weekly picks are often made in jest so everyone just calm down when he picks against Everett for 11 straight weeks.
- Mike Carraggi: An Everett native (Go Tide!), Mike attends Eastern Nazarene college and is entering his second year with the Globe. He'll focus on Division 1 this fall, which means he'll spend a lot of time in his hometown, which Forsberg thinks is cool because the Tide have that Fried Dough cart.
- Emily Wright: A Hyannis native (Go Barnstable Red Raiders!), Emily is a senior at Emerson College and has been with the Globe since the end of July. She'll cover Division 1A and will be the first intern we've trusted to navigate her way to Dennis-Yarmouth or any other school on the Cape.
- Mike Grossi: A Lexington native (Go Minutemen!), Mike attends Northeastern and has been with the Globe for two months. He'll cover Division 2 and 2A and unsuccessfully lobbied to include Lexington in the preseason Top 20.
- Jonathan Raymond: A native of Benicia, Calif. (a suburb of San Francisco), Jonathan attends Northeastern and has been working at the Globe since the end of June. He will be focusing on Division 3 and is likely woefully underprepared for covering a game in a foot of snow.
- David Carty: A native of West Bridgewater (Go Wildcats!), David is a senior at Emerson College and has been working at the Globe for a year. He'll cover Divisions 3A and 4 because, "small school ball is in my blood."
- The bench: You'll also catch updates from our regional contributors, including Globe North's Julian Benbow and South's Monique Walker. Correspondent Brendan Hall will have updates from the Globe West coverage area and will often try to sneak in Central Mass. news.
