The Lebanon High wrestling team hit the mat on Wednesday evening, welcoming strong squads from Bow and John Stark to Lebanon High School.
Stark handed the Raiders a 66-18 defeat in head-to-head competition. Lebanon picked up three victories by fall, from William Healy at 106 pounds, Bennett Russell at 132 pounds and Cole Ashline at 150 pounds.
Bow — last winter’s NHIAA Division III runner-up — also ruled the roost in its matches with Lebanon, recording a 54-12 decision. The Raiders’ points came from a pair of forfeit wins for Healy and heavyweight Chris Kinne.
Next up for Lebanon is a visit to Hollis-Brookline’s Nor’easter Invitational tournament on Saturday.
