A three-year varsity letterman in football at tailback and defensive back, Dickson had a spectacular
senior season in which he made All-State, All-Area and All-County, and was named the Colonial Valley
Conference’s Player of the Year. He set the school’s single season records for touchdowns and points
scored, won the Richard Fornaro Award as Steinert’s MVP in the Thanksgiving game, and became the third
Spartan to be named to the New Jersey North-South All-Star game. He was then named to The Trenton Times
All-Decade Team for the 1980’s. Dickson also played three years of varsity basketball, one year of
baseball and one year of track, and capped his remarkable career by earning the Spartan of the Year
award as a senior.
Then it was on to West Point before transferring to The College of New Jersey, where Dickson
won the school’s Varsity T Award as its outstanding athlete in 1994-95, and was named the Delaware
Valley’s Outstanding Scholar-Athlete. He was a GTE Regional Academic All-American in 1994. Dickson
is now an emergency room doctor at Virtua Hospital in Mount Holly, and will always look back on Steinert
as a springboard into his successful life.
