READING — As Chelmsford huddled around Griffin Murray holding the MIAA all-state trophy, coach Bruce Rich kept telling his wrestlers that they had just accomplished the perfect season.

The Lions, who were coming off their Division 1 championship last weekend, had four wrestlers who battled in the finals, with Murray winning decisively, 17-4, at 132 pounds to become the school’s first all-state winner since Tim Rich in 2008.

“I just tried to take it match by match,’’ said Murray. “I knew no matter what I took in states I had the talent to win this tournament.’’

Davey Goodall (152 pounds), Kyle McQuaide (170), and Phil Kimera (195) all fell just short of first place, but picked up some huge points to help boost Chelmsford to the win.

“These kids are complete leaders,’’ Rich said. “They don’t talk about themselves. They don’t care about individual glory, they care about the team. That has been our M.O. all the way through. They are all about the team.’’

St. John’s Prep, which finished second to Chelmsford last week in the Division 1 championships, took a back seat again, finishing 18 points behind the Lions. St. John’s Prep had two winners in Hunter Costa (138 pounds) and Jay Carnevale (285 pounds) for the strong finish.

Shawsheen Tech also had two winners in the finals — Jake Ferri (106 pounds) and Joe Fusco (220 pounds). Fusco pinned Broc Dokos of Tewksbury in what was one of the more exciting matches of the day.

Both wrestlers looked completely exhausted and Fusco somehow found the strength to get Dokos in position for a pin.

As the announcement made it official, Fusco leaped into his coaches’ arms following the extraordinarily hard-fought victory over the Division 2 state champion.

Eric Reyes of Dedham finished off a perfect season (170 pounds) with his 19-11 victory over McQuaide.

Cole Wyman (Brockton, 113 pounds), Chris Derosa (Billerica, 120 pounds), Matt Kelley (Foxboro, 126 pounds), Ryan Monteiro (Minnechaug, 145 pounds), Brandon Desfosses (Central Catholic, 152 pounds), Brandon Weyant (Hampshire, 160 pounds), Darius Franklin (Methuen, 182 pounds), and Benton Whitney (Minnechaug, 195 pounds) all took home all-state titles as well.

In a frightening moment, Darius Franklin of Methuen appeared to land with his head in an awkward position after being tossed by Malik Settles of Lowell in the finals of the 182-pound weight class.

Franklin was motionless for a short time. Methuen coach Bill James told reporters that Franklin was conscious and talking, and had some feeling in his body when the ambulance arrived.

The paramedics strapped a neck brace onto Franklin before taking him to the hospital for evaluation.

Franklin was diagnosed with a sprained neck and a concussion, according to James, and was expected to be released from the hospital Saturday night.

Franklin was awarded the championship due to an illegal throw by Settles.
