6A wrestling: Edmond North's Dixon triplets say they're more different than alike

“Andrew is a very technical, controlled wrestler. He controls his opponent. And Joel is kind of a mixture of the two. Joel being the middle weight, it's kind of weird how that works out.”

Where they are exactly alike is their desire to win state championships for themselves and Edmond North. At last year's state wrestling tournament, Lance and Andrew finished second, while Joel was third.

Andrew and Joel are unbeaten this season. Lance has just one loss, that coming in the finals of an elite tournament in Kansas City, Mo.

Most people expect a championship dual Saturday night between Edmond North and Broken Arrow, two teams that have shared time atop the 6A rankings this season.

As good as the Dixon brothers are, they can't win a state title for the Huskies by themselves.

Edmond North's lineup is loaded with other standouts including Derek White, Josh Breece, Jordan Armstrong, Cy Trindle and Jordan Prince, who have a combined record this season of 116-34.

“Those guys are great wrestlers, and they don't get as much publicity because of us three,” Andrew said. “We look alike and it's an attention-getter.”

While the individual state championships won't be decided for another two weeks, the Dixon brothers say Saturday's championships are more important.

“A team championship is way more important than any individual state championship, I think,” Lance said. “I think the dual state championship is way more important, to be honest, because you are sharing it with your teammates.”
