Robbie Miller ends season with a 5th place medal

Robbie Miller of Reynolds, all I can say is wow. What a year he's had. Earlier this year he pinned two-time returning state champion Troy Dolan of Derry Area. Miller entered the state championships as Northwestern's first place qualifier. Miller started his state championship quest for gold with a 4-0 decision and a pin in the quarterfinals to advance him to the semifinals last evening against Andrew Arnold of Northern Lehigh. Arnold, the returning sixth place medalist from last year, had different ideas for Miller though, as he caught him not once but twice in his patent gater roll ,putting Miller on his back for a fall. That sent Miller to the Consolation wrestlebacks where he fought his way back through only to fall short again, losing to Marty Borrowsky of Harriton. The loss put Robbie into the fifth and sixth place medal round where he made short work of Cody Feathers of Claysburg-Kimmel winning by fall in :36. Miller, a senior, ends his senior year with a record of 50-7. Great season Robbie.
