A few years back James "Jimmy" Nichols of Westfield was jv as a freshmen, sophomore, and started his junior season on jv. Our starter at 112 then had an injury and Nichols stepped in for the remainder of the season. Then his senior year, James was a relative unknown at the beginning of the year and made a deep run in the state tournament (losing in an overtime match in the semis at state before finishing 4th). Nichols went on to wrestle in college, lettered four years, and is currently University of Indianapolis starter at 125. A great story of hard work, determination, and perserverance. WHS wishes him the best of luck in the final part of his senior year.
