BANGOR – Twenty-one years after becoming the wrestling coach at Noble High School in South Berwick, Kip Devoll has officially turned the Knights’ program into a dynasty.

The Knights won their fourth straight Class A state championship Saturday despite not having a single wrestler win an individual state championship.

“We had six guys advance to the final and none of them won and I don’t think anyone’s won this without having anyone win a title since Rumford in 1973,” said Devoll. “I’ll tell you, I’ll sure be reminding future teams about this because it just shows what you can do with a strong effort up and down the lineup.”

Noble also had two wrestlers in the consolation finals. Both of them won those matches.

“This is probably the toughest of the four championships we’ve won,” Devoll said. “And I thought last year’s would be the toughest with all the people we graduated the previous year.”

Noble scored 130.5 points to outdistance runnerup Westbrook. Eastern Maine champ Mt. Blue of Farmington was third with 90 points. The highest finish by another Eastern Maine team was turned in by Gardiner, which finished 12th with 34 points.

Eastern Maine individual standouts included Skowhegan’s Brandon Hamilton, who electrified the 2,500 fans at the Bangor Auditorium by winning a 6-4 overtime decision over Noble’s Decota Cotten in the 152-pound weight class.

Other Eastern Maine titlists were Mt. Blue’s Scott Webber in 112 and Matt Waite in 215.

Notable area wrestlers advancing to the consolation finals were Mt. Blue’s Shane Webber, who finished third in 103 with a consolation pin, and Seth Webber, who lost an 11-2 decision to Noble’s Adam Hale in 119; Brewer’s Jeff Madden, who lost to Sanford’s Chad Edwards on a 15-0 technical fall in 171; and Cony of Augusta’s Brad Waugh, who lost an 8-6 decision to Biddeford’s Anthony Cincotta in 140.

“We had a guy finish third last year, so we’re making some progress,” said Madden, who moved to Brewer from North Carolina last summer. “The competition is pretty good here. We just need to get some more people on the team to fill some holes in the lineup.”
