Trumbull, which racked up 132 points to outscore runner-up New Milford (107) and third-place Maloney (100), got an additional individual title from senior Marangelie Teixeira, who reclaimed her 165-pound crown with a third-period pin of rival Kaydence Atkinson of New Britain, who had dethroned Teixeira a year ago. Platt's Morris, meanwhile, remained untouchable. The Meriden senior has left the Floyd Little Athletic Center in each of the last four years as a division champion.
