Beau Studebaker, State Champion from East Carteret High School, was presented the 15th Roy Heverly Award as the top underclassman scholastic wrestler in eastern North Carolina. He was presented the trophy just before kick-off of East Carteret’s home football game. He was also awarded a TDR Top 12 shirt from the 2005-2006 season which was the season in which wrestling was restarted at East Carteret.
A fan was overheard exclaiming “Beau Knows Wrestling!” The home crowd cheered on their agreement to this. Then Beau started at Quarterback and successfully led his team to victory over conference rival Dixon High.
Beau has a career record of 121 wins and just13 losses. He has won his last 61 consecutive matches.
