The line of people extending from Simeon’s gymnasium doors and snaking down the sidewalk toward the school’s front entrance gave the appearance of a Friday night high school rivalry game.
Think Simeon versus Morgan Park.
Except something about this line was different. There wasn’t cheering or talks of who would leave victorious. In fact, a lot of people had no idea what awaited them once inside. Some thought it was a night honoring Ben Wilson and the Wolverines’ first state championship team. Others believed there was a pickup game between former Simeon stars set to take place.
