Carson battled back with a pair of 3-1 decision wins over Dawson Stinson of Douglas and Charlie Beaudrie of Cody to finish the weekend with a 4-1 record.

At 285 pounds, Baker won his opening match but suffered his first loss in the quarterfinal round to Lovell’s Coy Trainor by an 11-2 major decision.

The loss dropped him to the fifth-place bout where Buffalo’s Hunter Pope defeated Baker, 8-1.
