The Simeon Wolverines capped an impressive post-season run with a decisive 51-36 win over the Whitney Young Dolphins to win the 2009-2010 Class 4 A state boys basketball championship.
Simeon was no stranger to winning state titles, having won back-to-back trophies in 2006 and 2007. In 2010, however, they spent most of the season slipping ever-lower in the rankings and it was the defending 4A champion Whitney Young Dolphins who went into the state playoffs with high expectations.
But the underdog Wolverines were not fazed by their fall in public opinion, and remained confident going into the game that they would perform well and win.
"They underestimated us," said junior forward Darien Walker. "They think that ranking stuff means something. It's whoever wants it more."
