Best All Around Student Athlete 2024

The Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce Sports Council Division held the Best All-Around Student Athlete of the Year Awards Luncheon at Cumberland University’s Baird Chapel on May 10, 2024. One male and one female athlete from each high school in Wilson County were nominated by their Athletic Director, Coach, or Principal. Students are nominated for their outstanding academic and athletic qualities. From the nominees, one male and one female were chosen to receive a scholarship to the school of their choice. The scholarships have been generously funded by the 15th Annual Two Rivers Ford Open Bass Tournament hosted by the Wilson County Sports Council in April. The scholarships serve as a testament to our community’s commitment to nurture and support the next generation of leaders.

The luncheon featured guest speaker Colton Dowell, Wide Receiver for the Tennessee Titans.

Dowell’s inspiring words and personal journey served to motivate and encourage these young athletes as they embark on their own paths to success.
