St Stephens Open was Saturday, March 6, 2010. It was a good day for us all. It was a close tournament and I even took Robbie by myself. Tony had to work. I thought it was going to be interesting to see how Robbie would do without his dad by his side but he did great! He handled it like a pro. Robbie had 3 in his age/weight class other than him. The group was asked to bump up to the older age group at 85 lbs since there was only one in that class and they did. That made 5 boys total in the group. Robbie had a great day and won each of his matches taking home 1st place. All the grandparents came to watch, Gma & Gpa Emanuelson along with Freda & Mackey. One of his matches was against a first year wrestler. Friends of ours were from the same club as this boy. They asked Robbie to take it easy on him. Boy, was that frustrating to watch. The whole first period Robbie barely wrestled or should I say, he wrestled in slow motion. He never seemed to finish a move. If you didn't know any better you would have thought he had forgotten everything he knew about wrestling. Then in period #2, Rusty (coach) gave Robbie the go ahead/nod and then the Robbie we know was back. He pinned the boy in a matter of seconds. It was really funny to watch Robbie go from night and day in seconds. So the day was good getting home early in the afternoon while taking home a 1st place medal. This Saturday will be our home tournament...The TopDawg Challenge.
