Knox wins New England title
While we are still awaiting word from the MIAA on whether or not wrestling will be able to take place in the spring, the state’s top wrestlers recently got a chance to take the mat at the independently-operated Spartan New England Tournament, and West Newbury’s Tyler Knox was among the most impressive competitors.
Knox, a former Pentucket star who subsequently transferred to Northfield Mount Hermon and is now at St. John’s Prep, breezed to the 113-pound New England championship. The former Daily News Wrestling MVP won all four of his matches in dominant fashion, getting a first period pin, a 13-0 major decision win and a second period pin before beating Chelmsford star and old rival Evan Kinney 10-3 in the finals.
