AUGUSTA — With its rich history on the mat, the Noble High wrestling program has achieved almost every possible accolade.

Nevertheless, the Knights added another chapter to their legacy on Saturday while winning another state title.

When Brady Ouellette pinned Henry Sites of Skowhegan in just 30 seconds to win the 165-pound title at the Class A wrestling championships at Cony High, he became the first wrestler in the program’s history to win four straight state titles. He was chosen as the Wrestler of the Meet.

“It feels pretty cool,” said Ouellette, who did a flip after winning his title match. “New Englands is always my goal, but four-time state champ has always been my goal since I was younger as well.”

“He’s definitely solidified himself on that Mount Rushmore of Noble wrestling,” said his coach, Kevin Gray. “His athleticism (stands out). He’s super fast and super strong. He started off as a 106-pounder, and he never lost that speed. Now at 165, it’s something that hopefully he can push through at New Englands and do well there.”

Ouellette’s win was the cherry on top of a dominant day for the Knights, who cruised to another Class A team title as they finished with 168.5 points. Edward Little, in just its third year as a program, was the runner-up with 81 points, while Massabesic finished third with 80.

“It feels great,” Gray said. “At the beginning of the year, we had an untested group of guys and they did fantastic. They came through. There were some matches that could have gone some other ways, but for a young group, in regards to wrestling experience at the state level, they did their jobs today, for sure.”

It’s the second straight state title and fourth since 2020 for Noble, which has won 16 Class A championships. The Knights had three individual champions: Ouellette, Cam Dennis (138 pounds) and Wyatt Chandler (150). Dennis earned a second-period pin over Asher Kennedy of Kennebunk in the championship round, while Chandler beat Alex Harriman of Massabesic by a 12-4 score.

“We were feeling confident (today), but the goal is always a top-10 (finish) at New Englands,” said Chandler, a junior. “States and postseason, that’s always kind of preparing us for New Englands. That’s our big goal, we’re just keeping our eyes focused on All-States and then New Englands.”

Brock Nice (120) and Kaden Robinson (157) placed second for Noble, and Alex Leudke (126), Ayden Decato (144) and Sean Leach (285) finished third.

Noble has had a dominant postseason, starting with its third straight Class A duals crown. The Knights then repeated as Class A South champions last week in their home gym. They continue to honor Aiden Keefe, a Noble student who was killed in an automobile/train accident last month, by wearing warmup sweatshirts with LLAK on the back, standing for “Long live Aiden Keefe.”

“It’s our community that helps us through it, and our coaches,” Chandler said. “Our coaching staff is amazing, and they kept us all together and in the (wrestling) room. We never left one another, we all stayed close and united. I think that helped us stay focused.” Dual states was rough, because (it happened) two days before that, but our coaches kept us united “

The Red Eddies had one state champion in junior Evan Madigan, who beat AJ Ward of Mt. Ararat/Brunswick by a 19-4 tech fall for the 144-pound title. Three other Edward Little wrestlers reached the finals: Cooper Blair (132), Izaac Martin-Poole (175) and Merlin Smith (215).

Massabesic sophomore Remington Grunhuvd earned his 100th career win by beating Angus Ward of Camden Hills 9-0 for the 106-pound championship. Grunhuvd’s teammate, junior Evan Boulard, beat Blair of Edward Little 4-0 for his third state championship.

Kylan Berry, a Bonny Eagle junior, won his third consecutive state crown, beating Preston Garland of Mt. Blue by pin in the third period at 113 pounds. He transferred to Bonny Eagle after winning two championships while attending Traip Academy. Berry has only lost one match to a Maine opponent in his high school career.

“When I won my first one freshman year, I was just excited, it was so crazy,” Berry said. “But now, to do it two other times, I’ve been there before, but you have to act like you’ve been there before. It’s still exciting, of course, but you have to appreciate the little things.”

Liam Schleis-Hooyman won a state title for host Cony, picking up a second-period pin over Tim Brunk of Bonny Eagle for the 190-pound title. The Rams have been dealing with the absence of their head coach, Shawn Totman, who suffered a heart attack last month and is recovering from quadruple bypass surgery.

“It feels good (to win),” Schleis-Hooyman said. “I’ve been working for this for a while. I definitely give credit to (Brunk), he was big and strong. (My thought process) was just do whatever it takes.”

Other state champions were Michaelray Abeyta of Deering (120), Evan Kowalsky of Mt. Ararat/Brunswick (126), Dillon Gray of Mt. Blue (157), Justin Batty of Camden Hills (175), Evan Metivier of Cheverus/Falmouth (215) and Chris Levesque of Oxford Hills (285). Kowalsky won a last year at 120 pounds, and Gray and Metivier are repeat champions in their weight class.
