    No. 42 Poway claims Reno TOC team title

    RENO, Nev. -- After losing the team title very late in the championship finals last year, No. 42 Poway, Calif., entered this year's edition of the Reno Tournament of Champions hungry to regain the title they had won in 2011. Even though they trailed until midway through the championship semifinal and consolation quarterfinal round, the Titans ended up earning that title without doubt.

    They placed a tournament-high eight wrestlers, which does not include two additional backups who earned a top-eight finish, on the way to scoring 211 points. Poway was led by the weight class title won by Sergio Enloe at 138 pounds, a runner-up finish from No. 19 at 138 Ralphy Tovar in the 145 pound class, the third-place finish from Colt Doyle at 160, and a fourth place finish from Cody Doyle at 152.

    Second place team honors went to Pleasant Grove, Utah, which scored 196.5 points. They were led by now two-time Reno TOC champion Zach Dawe, who won the 285 pound weight class with four falls and then an injury default during the third period of his championship bout. Three additional wrestlers earned a placement finish: Nelson Jones (106) was fourth, Kyson Levin (113) finished runner-up, and T.J. Wind (170) was eighth.

    Third in the standings went to No. 49 Centennial, Idaho, which was led by the weight class title won by No. 6 Jon-Jay Chavez at 160 pounds. The Patriots had five placer-winners in all, including two other top three finishers: Logan Blackwood was second at 220 and No. 4 Hayden Tuma was third at 145.

    Tuma was upended in the semifinal round by future University of Nebraska teammate Tyler Berger of Crook County, Ore. by a 2-0 score. Berger, who entered the weekend ranked No. 10 up a weight at 152 pounds, then won the tournament with a 4-3 championship final victory over Tovar. That performance anchored a fifth place finish for his Crook County team, which had three other scoring place-winners and 147.5 points in all.

    1. No. 42 Poway, Calif. 211 (8 placers)
