Another City Section wrestling controversy

Dillon Freeman of Granada Hills was disqualified from the City Section finals last weekend because of a school ID snafu.

The senior had his driver's license but had forgotten to bring his school ID with him to weigh-ins before the tournament. The school's athletic director produced it via email through his phone, which was approved by the on-site City administrator and Freeman continuing checking in. Several coaches then complained that Freeman had weighed-in after everyone else and therefore was denied participation.

Freeman was the 160-pound City champion last year and was favored to win the 152-pound crown and go to state this year. The family and their lawyer are attempted to get permission for him to participate in the state tournament - which starts Friday in Bakersfield.

Because he is a senior, this is his last chance to compete at state as a prep wrestler.
