Robie looks to win back to back state titles

GRANGEVILLE, ID - Justin Robie, a senior at Grangeville High School, helped the Bulldog football team to an undefeated season along with the first state title in school history.

He said it's a memory that will stick with him a long time.

"When I look back 20 years from now," said Robie. "We made history in our school."

In wrestling, Justin placed third in states during his sophomore year. His junior year, he went on to win the state title. Justin said going from third to state champ in one year, wasn't an easy task.

"I knew the kid that I would probably face in the championship match, he won state in 3-A that year." said Robie. "Once I beat him in one of our tournaments, I knew I had a pretty good shot at it."

Looking to cap off an amazing career with the Bulldogs, the thought of leaving Grangeville with a state title in football and wrestling almost leaves him speechless.

"Not a bunch of people can do that," said Robie. "So I don't know. It would be really cool."
