Hundreds of spectators were left stunned after a teen wrestler was the victim of a heinous sucker punch from an opponent following a match at Oak Park River Forest High School earlier this month.
Now, that wrestler’s family is planning to press charges against the other teen, while trying to cope with the aftermath of an incident that was captured on camera.
The developmental wrestling tournament was proceeding as planned when Cooper Corder’s match ended on April 8. As he went to shake his opponent’s hand, the other teen unleashed a vicious punch, hitting Corder square in the face and sending him sprawling to the mat.Get Chicago local news, weather forecasts, sports and entertainment stories to your inbox.A video on the website The Wrestling Spot went viral, showing Cooper’s mom Jillian Hill rushing to his side.
“I was deeply concerned, because I wasn’t sure if he was knocked out or concussed,” she said. “I was just concerned that there was so much blood.” The family documented the attack, but initially they did not plan to press charges. Days later, the family changed their minds and contacted police in suburban Oak Park.
