Southern Regional assistant wrestling coach Luke Lanno has a picture on his phone that dates back to his high school years, and in that photo he was happily holding a newborn Wyatt Stout.

On March 8, Lanno happily hugged the youngest Stout boy, now three months away from graduating from high school, along the corner of the mat at the center of the floor inside Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall, seconds after Stout became the school’s latest state champion.
