Chattanooga-area teams took the top two spots in the G.P. West Invitational wrestling tournament at Brentwood over the weekend.
McCallie won the tournament with 166 points and Soddy-Daisy was second with 158.5. Red Bank finished 13th with 54.5 points.
“I thought we had good effort even though we had some guys out of the lineup,” McCallie coach Mike Newman said. “Cory Cobb filled in at 145 and wound up placing third, and Tim Westbrooks won his first tournament. It was a good a tournament and a good field.”
Individual champions included Wesbrooks (119), T.J. Duncan (152) and Chase Martino (160) of McCallie and Campbell Lewis (125) of Soddy-Daisy. Among the runners-up were Red Bank’s Madison Martin (112), Soddy-Daisy’s Jake Gamble (130) and Alex Seeley (285) and McCallie’s Michael Hooker (140).
“Out of 22 teams we finished second, after everybody had been writing us off and pushing us into the gutter,” Soddy-Daisy coach Steve Henry said. “We worked hard to get back, and we still have work to do.”
