When the Lights Went Out…

(KSL) Wrestlers at Utah’ Class 4A divisional tournament at Dixie High School got a surprise Saturday night.

The power went out.

Like most shows, though, the meet must go on.

Just before the end of the 170-pound match, the gym at Dixie High School went pitch black. After some confusion and a few screams from students and parents eager to hit the road for Logan, Garland and all cities in between, the tournament’s officials huddled on the center mat to determine what to do.

One by one, parents and spectators took tiny their cell phones out of their pockets and turned on their tiny flashlights, said Dixie High teacher and tournament official Craig Milligan. The room grew brighter and brighter as cell phones ran the length of the center mat, illuminating the gym with shadows reminiscent of a WWE match.
