DEXTER — Lisbon’s wrestlers stood above the rest and responded six individual champions, scoring 190 points in the Class C state championship Saturday.

Penobscot Valley (141) was second and Dexter (121) was third. Dirigo 117.5 faded to fourth despite a championship win by Alex Meile (160). Lisbon took the lead with even wins in the semifinals (33 points) and had it wrapped up prior to the finals.

Lisbon’s champions included Forrest Cornell (112), Josh Pomerleau (119), Mike Manamara (130), Matt Nichoson (135), Marcus Bubar (145) and Joe Doughty at (215). the Greyhounds won their third-straight team crown, seventh in 10 years and have won 13 individual titles, in the past two years.

“Our team does well in tournaments,” said 0Bubar, who had pins in eight and 24 seconds. “We knew we needed pins today and won eight matches in first round. There is always a little pressure when you are on top, people are coming after you.”

Cornell and Bubar each won their third state crowns. The individual state champions automatically qualified for the New England championships to be held in Connecticut next month. Bubar major decisioned Jordon Fogg of Bucksport. Art Stambach of Lisbon lost 9-2 in the 189 final to outstanding wrestler Doug Richardson of Dexter.

“The kids wrestled tough,” Dirigo coach Doug Gilbert said. “A couple lost early on like Caleb (Hall at 112). It was the third match against (Vincent Malinskas of Dexter) and (Malinskas) was due, but I was not worried about him wrestling back. The thirds and fourths were key for us.”

Eric Coloumbe of Monmouth decisioned 2009 state champion Brandon Jonaitis of Dirigo 2-0.

“It was a hard match,” Coloumbe said. “I didn’t want to go overtime, so at the end I just went for it. It was all heart for me, this time.”

It was the third-straight week the two foes faced each other. It was 0-0 entering third period and Coloumbe executed a switch with 18 seconds left.

“I was confident,” said Jonaitis, who was seeking his 100th-career match. “I’ll go with what got me here, but I do need to change my takedown style against him.”

“We knew it would be close,” Lisbon coach Mark Stevens said. “We needed all seven in finals and hopefully pull away. Plus, Zack Spulde (160), a first-year wrestler, and Ryan Havlack 285 each placed.”

Hall and Splude each won in overtime to place third.

Cornell and Pomerleau, Mcnamera, Nicholich and Doughty each stuck opponents in finals. Miele pinned Lee Gustin of Dexter with a splade in the first period.

“I felt good today,” Miele said. “I stayed with basics (first two pins), but I got lucky against Gustin last week because he lost his balance. It was tougher this time.”

The Cougars’ depth was expected to be an asset, but Chad Oakes took third at 145 and Justin Jasper placed fourth at 125.

Dirigo freshman Brett Whittemore lost a hard fought 2-1 decision to Mark Smith of Foxcroft Academy in the 103 finals.

Whittemore, who had lost 7-0 to the Ponies wrestler last week, escaped with 48 seconds left. Kyle Bell-Cofer (171) of Hall Dale lost the 171 final in overtime. Kyle Foyt-Bridges of Monmouth was third at 189. Former Rumford wrestler Lenny Doiron coaches Penobscot Valley
