Round by Round results are listed below. Fellow photographer Lori Poteet and I covered several of the matches over the two days. Links to the photos we took are included next to the specific match we covered. We tried to get shots of as many kids as possible but are sure there are some we missed. This was not intentional and sorry to anyone that we missed.
