One might scoff after hearing Winchester wrestling coach Larry Tremblay describe his team's effort in a 57-9 victory as "flat." But that's where the laughs stop.

The team, led by seniors Miguel Tirado, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Charlie Hale, and Zach Gramlich, blew out Watertown, Foxboro, and host North Andover yesterday. The Sachems improved to 22-0, but what is more impressive is their 53-match winning streak.

"We've had long streaks before, including winning 56 league games in a row [1993--2001]," Tremblay said. "I keep telling these guys not to pay too much attention to stuff like that. Once you think about it too much, you end up wrestling not to lose, which never works out."

Even Tremblay, who says he hates to rank his teams, admits his current squad ranks as one of his five best.

"Last year was this team's surprise season, we kind of snuck up on a bunch of people," he said. "Personally, I'd rather fly under the radar. It's not too easy playing with a giant bull's-eye on your back."

One of the few men who could relate was in the building. North Andover coach David Castricone, a longtime friend of Tremblay, had his own impressive streak of 76 straight wins (2004--06).

"[Winchester is] one of those teams that comes around only once in a while," said Castricone.

Castricone's wrestlers had no reason to hang their heads. Outside of the defeat to Winchester, the Scarlet Knights beat Foxboro and Watertown. The victories improved their record to 17-6 and helped Castricone move within 10 wins of the state record of 608 held by former Lowell coach George Bossi.

"I knew we had a strong squad heading into this season," Castricone said. "I wanted to go after the heavy hitters this year, and most of our losses are against top-notch teams."

That being said, don't expect Castricone to rush into facing Winchester again. "I'm just happy they're in Division 3 and not Division 2," he said with a chuckle.

In other wrestling action:

Lowell, the 2007 New England champion, hosted a quad meet that featured a battle with Timberlane, the defending state champions from New Hampshire. Lowell edged Timberlane, 28-27, behind strong performances from Christian McCarthy at 125 pounds and James Downing at 160. Victor DeJesus at 130 and Evan Connors at 140 both went 3-0 on the day.
