"Robbie lost a close match in the third round.  I believe when he wrestles that guy again, Robbie will come out on top.  Max had a good day as well.  He lost his championship match in overtime to a wrestler that pinned him earlier in the day.  We run a scramble style tournament, so it is possible to lose earlier in the day and comeback to make the finals.  Max controlled the finals' match, but was unable to score the first points in overtime.  Despite the loss, Max gained some valuable experience and confidence," said Swenson.  "Also, Trevor Enloe had a good day at the 138-pound weight class.  He only had one loss on the day, and that was a close match in which he held the lead for most of the match."
