at Morse High School

Maddie Ripley of Oceanside took a step toward winning a second Class B state championship by winning the 113-pound division at the South regional Saturday at Morse High in Bath.

After advancing with falls in the quarterfinals and semifinals, Ripley earned a 1-0 decision over Keygan Boucher of Mountain Valley in the final.

Last February, Ripley became the first Maine girl to win a state championship against boys when she took the 106-pound title.

Ripley’s twin brother, Gavin Ripley, pinned Dyllan Davis of Wells to win the 132-pound division. Another Oceanside wrestler, Austin White-Ortiz, claimed the 106-pound title by pinning Vincent Chapman of Dirigo.

Defending state champion Wells also had three individual champions and qualified 10 wrestlers for next weekend’s state meet at Mountain Valley High in Rumford. Calvin Chase earned a 4-3 decision over Sean Bonzagni of Morse at 126, Alex Albright got a 4-1 win over Joey Fusco of Fryeburg Academy at 144, and Nathan Malloy pinned Wesley Baltrus of Mountain Valley at 285.

Other individual winners were Caiden Skidgell of Dirigo at 120, Adam St. Cyr of Lincoln Academy at 138, Lucas Libby of Mountain Valley at 150, Hudson Lufkin of Dirigo at 157, Jayden Lafrenye of Lincoln at 165, Jakobi Hagar of Lincoln at 175, Ben Ronca of York at 190, and Owen Gaudette of Mountain Valley at 215.
