Janicento Williamson was named to the TDR All-Area first team at 171 pounds. This is the second year J.K. was named to the first team. Last year he gathered the 160 pound first team honors. Williamson had a stellar year, going 30-12 and becoming a two time state qualifier as a sophomore.

Chandler Phillips ends his Rocky Mount career being named to the TDR All-Area first team for the fourth year in a row. The last two years he was named the area's top ranked 135 pounder, while being awarded the top spot at 125 his sophomore year and at 112 pounds his freshman campaign.

Chandler started his senior season with 20 wins in a row, picked up his fourth Conference Championship and capped it off becoming a two time state qualifier with a 33-6 record.
