Lane DickesonAs a high school wrestler, Dickeson medaled twice at the TSSAA (Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association) Class AAA state tournament, as runner-up at 126 pounds in 2014, and placing sixth at 138 his senior year. He was a four-time state championships qualifier, a two-time region qualifier, and a three-time AAU All-American. Dickeson finished his prep career at 187 victories, placing him eighth all-time at Wilson Central.
"Lane was one of the most successful wrestlers I've coached," WCHS head coach John Kramer told the Wilson Post. "Not just at Wilson Central but throughout my 28-year career.
"Lane was part of that group that came up to Wilson Central and put program on the map. He will be greatly missed and remembered forever."
