WRESTLING

BUCKSPORT: David Gross, last season’s Varsity Maine Wrestler of the Year, announced Friday on Twitter that he won’t wrestle this winter because he needs knee surgery as he prepares to play football in college.

Gross was the runner-up in the heavyweight division at the 2019 New England championships and is a two-time Class B champion. But he has dealt with knee injuries throughout high school after dislocating his kneecap as a freshman at the 2017 New England championships. A year later, according to the Bangor Daily News, he had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a partial torn meniscus and a torn medial patellofemoral ligament.

Gross, a two-way lineman in football, reinjured his knee during football preseason this fall but played through the injury and led Bucksport to the Class D North title. He was chosen as the Little Ten Conference’s player of the year, as well as the offensive lineman and defensive lineman of the year. He’s also a semifinalist for the Gaziano Award as the state’s best senior offensive lineman.

Gross has yet to decide on his college plans. His father Dave, Bucksport’s wrestling coach, played football for the University of New Hampshire.
