St. Paul – After falling in the first round of the individual wrestling tournament from Bennett Kujawa von Becker on Friday, Pierce Rohman from Martin County knew that he had to shake his nerve in a hurry if he wanted to see the podium.

Rohman did not have to wait long to pursue the redemption down because he applied for a medal in the AA medal to 133 pounds with a reservations against Kujawa.

Rohman fell 7: 3 in the championship round to Kujawa, but Rohman won his consolation to stay alive in the tournament, and defeated Kadin Martin von Grand Rapids about the decision 6-2.

After that, Rohman had to win two more games to get to third place, and he did exactly that and defeated Watertown Mayer-Mayer Lutheran's Sully Marx with a 5-2 decision and Totino-Gracs Jackson Refsnider with an 11: 6 decision, to go back to a resignation with Kujawa.

In the game for third place, Rohman started a 9-2 win against Kujawa to take the bronze medal home.

“I was only able to use the advantage” said Rohman. “He was tired, he was a bit out after he lost his semi -finals, but he ran many games and saw many good people, and he was not physically and mentally, and I only used it.”

After the game, Rohman had a bit of fun with the crowd.

“I only went out there to have fun and wrestle.” said Rohman. “I was pretty pumped to get my remaining against him. Yes, I don't know. Her crowd became Rowdy and they don't build on me so much, but the referees, and then I just didn't know how to point out and destroy them. I just have to let her know. “

The head coach of Red Bulls, Adam Williamson, said that he was happy about how Rohman used his motivation to end the tournament by recovering the two best seeds in his weight class.

“Pierce was excellent, but he was a little disappointed with his sowing and the kind of thoughts that it was a little disrespectful for him.” Williamson said. “But he took this as motivation to beat these boys who were sown and classified in front of him. And it was pretty great, the number two and then at the end to remove number two and then at the end for the game in third place. “

The Red Bulls also saw Torrey Paplow and Maddex Faber in the state campaign.

Paplow led the Red Bulls Friday with two wins with £ 145 and won his game in the first round against Gabriel Park of St. Paul Johnson over 16: 1 tech autumn. Kujawa ended up on the 23rd to 7th autumn before winning a Tech case victory over Landon Bizal. Paplow ended his time in the state with a narrow defeat against Owen Friedrich from Kasson-Mantorville.

Faber, who ranked with £ 172, fell in the first round in 3:29 to Beckers Owen Angell in the first round. Nevertheless, Faber won his consolation against Wilson Nordquist from Zumbrota-Mazeppa with a 10-9 decision. On Saturday, Faber fell with the decision 4-3 in Wyatt Pollard from New Ulm.

“The boys were enthusiastic about it” said Williamson. “They all found some success there. It was excellent for Maddex to be his first trip. He found his way to a big win and came for the second day. Even in the few losses he took, they were very close games against some really good wrestlers, so that he really had his state experience really motivated. “
