The local high school winter sports season is beginning to take shape.

Wrestling is slowly but surely getting into its schedule as locals were in action on Saturday, with Bishop Guertin starting its season and Alvirne hosting Merrimack. The Cards had previously been on pause, delaying their season.

The BG girls hockey team continued its winning ways, now 4-0, and local bowling teams squared off at Merrimack Tenpin.

Here are the results:

Merrimack winners were Anthony Maglio with a pin at 126, Zach Cusson by pin at 152, Colin Jones by pin at 170, Gabe Victal at 195 (major decision) and Glynn McNay at 285 (pin).

The host Broncos got wins by Jacob Kulick at 120 (major decision) and Morgan Gora at 106 (minor decision).

But they also got one by senior Kyle Gora at 182 in the match of the day. Gora faced Merrimack’s Anson Dewar, who wrestled up a weight class, and both were New England place finishers last season. Gora got a takedown in the first period that helped him maintain a lead for a 2-0 minor decision win.
