Centralia High School will honor legendary wrestling coach Dick Carpenter with a mat dedication ceremony on Saturday, November 29, 2025. Carpenter, a 1954 graduate of Centralia Township High School, built one of the most respected wrestling programs in the region during his 43-year coaching career, amassing over 450 career victories and leaving a lasting impact on generations of student-athletes. The ceremony will take place at approximately 10:30 AM, or immediately before Centralia’s final match in the home triangular. Following the conclusion of the triangular, a reception will be held in the foyer of Trout Arena. All alumni, former wrestlers, community members, and friends of the program are invited to attend and celebrate Coach Carpenter’s legacy.
