Rosewood wrestlers reflect on season

By Aviel Smolka
The 2018-2019 wrestling season is in the history books, and it will go down as one of Rosewood High School’s most successful seasons. Rosewood claimed its first trifecta in school history as senior Timothy Decatur (132), senior Jordan Todd (145) and junior Christian Decatur (113) each won individual state champion wrestling titles, while Chris Hill (126) was runner up and heavyweight Nyterrius Williams finished fourth. On Wednesday afternoon, the five Eagles and head coach Hal Kilpatrick sat down to talk about their incredible runs of success. In four years, Timothy Decatur won three state championships, broke Rosewood’s all-time wins record, made his fourth straight appearance in the State Wrestling Championships. As a sophomore, he lost out on a state championship, and he wasn’t about to let that happen again. “It feels good because all the hard work had paid off,” Timothy Decatur said. “I had in my mind I was going to win no matter who they are. I just go out and try my best.”Not only did Timothy Decatur win an individual wrestling title, but he also broke the North Carolina all-time wins record. Rest of the story at
