William Bell Invitational TournamentWilliam Bell was the wrestling coach at Sabino High School from 1976 until he passed away suddenly in 1991. In tribute to his service to the school and to our children, the Tucson Unified School District puts on the annual William Bell Invitational Wrestling Tournament for all 9 TUSD high school wrestling teams. This year, we had 14 schools participating! Because there were so many schools, host Cholla High School switched to a format that separated the teams into two "pools". Each team wrestled against all the other teams in their own pool, then the top teams in each pool wrestled against each other for the overall standings.
We spent all day Friday and Saturday morning in duals against the other high schools in Pool A. Despite several gaps in our line up, we did ok. Then the schools in each pool wrestled each other, we ended up at 6th overall. After the team duals were complete, the top wrestlers in each weight class went on to determine individual rankings. Impressively, we had 9 of our wrestlers make it to the individual matches, and 6 of them came home with medals! Enough talk. On to photos!
