TDR Editor’s Notes; We are hoping to award these state champion brothers at Rosewood the Lee Carroll Award this Thursday at a home baseball game. That is the tentative plan for now yet if that does not work out it shall be presented at a home football game in the fall.

Sophomore Christian Decatur: Freshman-(56-9) State Runner-up @ 106, Sophomore-(62-1) State Champion @ 106. Career: (118-10) so far. Christian had the most wins and most pins of anyone in the State in any division.
Both young men compete in Folkstyle, Free Style and Greco year round in national tournaments from Super-32 to Fargo and National Dual tournaments.
Hall of Fame Coach Bill Edmundson proudly stated “There are not too many more deserving people in the country. Christian and Timothy Decatur wrestle year round. They go to huge tournaments every weekend. They wrestle Folkstyle, Freestyle and Greco. Timothy is the technician. He is a machine. He’s ranked in his class and has been contacted by many college and universities about wrestling at the next level. Christian is a Sophomore and is pound for pound one of the best athletes I’ve seen in decades.” He added that he “is confident and unafraid under any situation.” As an example of their dedication Timothy and Christian have their own wrestling club in Goldsboro called the Tank Warehouse. These guys are competitive, yet love each other and are glad to be sharing in this award.
