Teams around the state are starting to take the Andover wrestling team much more seriously and it showed why again Saturday when it placed second at the Whitman-Hanson Invitational.

It's the second strong runner-up tournament finish for the Warriors, who were second to Mount Anthony at Londonderry. In Saturday's meet, it finished with 181 points, just 10 behind Brockton. Haverhill finished fourth with 155.

Andover led all of the 16 teams in the field with nine placers, including three champions — 152-pounder Kelvin Davila, 160-pounder Elias Maita and 170-pounder Sean Ballou.It was the first-ever tournament title for Ballou.

Davila got an early five-pount move and beat Haverhill's Steven Wise 7-3 in the finals while the unbeaten Maita and Ballou came through with pins. Finishing second for Andover were Brendan Major (195) and first-year heavyweight AJ Heidtke.

"We wrestled pretty tough again so I'm happy with that," said Andover coach Mike Bolduc. "We only brought 12 wrestlers so this was a good performance."

Haverhill coach Tim Lawlor was also happy with his squad, which had first-place finishes from 113-pounder Ben Davoli and heavyweight Jay Levy. Jackson DiFloures came in second, losing a tough 3-2 decision in the finals, and Israel Tricoche (170) as well as Wise were also runners-up.
