By Tommy Hope and Darius Sims
The City Wrestling Tournament was held at the University of Chicago on Sunday, January 26, 2015. Nobody knew what to expect from the city wrestling tournament. The whole focus of the team was to do something big and win city. Damian Gamez, Div.507, wrestled prior to the finals matches and placed a re- spectable fourth. The first one to wrestle in the finals was Brandon Pettis. His match was over after 40 seconds with Pettis winning with a cradle. Next up was Darius Sims, who was facing a wrestler who he had previously lost to. You could feel the tension between the two wrestlers as they stepped into the mat. After 1 minute and 10 seconds, Darius came out victorious with a headlock. Darius Sims and Brandon Pettis were crowned city champions. On Sunday March 15, 2015, all of the champs were honored at a champion’s banquet. They talked about the accomplishments of each person and gave out special awards. Coach Boyd was brought up to be recognized for his accomplishments as a coach. Hubbard hasn’t had two city champs in the same year since 2008. This year however, Brandon Pettis and Darius Sims put Hubbard’s name out on top. Brandon Pettis, Div. 510, said, “It feels great to be city champion, especially sharing it with my teammates.”
