Rowdy Baribeau OSU signee Cael Hughes won his fourth Oklahoma state wrestling championship on Saturday.
OSU signee Hughes wins fourth state title, three more OSU signees medal Rowdy Baribeau Staff Reporter Daton Fix, Kaden Gfeller, Jerry Best, Teyon Ware, and Kenny Monday, and now, Stillwater High wrestler and OSU signee Cael Hughes will find his name etched next to some of Oklahoma’s greatest high school wrestlers. Hughes became the sixth Oklahoma wrestler to win four state championships while never losing a high school match. Hughes pinned his way
through to the 6A state finals at 132 pounds. All of his pins were in the first period. He faced off against Edmond North’s Hunter Hollingsworth in the final. By no means was it a pushover victory for Hughes. Hollingsworth put Hughes to the test. Hughes passed his final challenge in high school with a 4-0 decision against Hollingsworth. With so much chatter surrounding Hughes’s potential fourth state championship, there was a lot of pressure on his shoulders. Or was there? Cael Hughes’ dad, Jeremy Hughes had the feat
on the back of his mind before the season started. However, as the time came closer and closer, Jeremy said Cael’s mentality stayed grounded. “He just isn’t that kind of personality,” Jeremy said. “He’s a pretty humble guy. Just the way he’s made, he just wants to do better than he did last time. He won his first state title and went right back to work two weeks later. The attitude he’s had this whole year, really, like ‘it’s another match, it’s another match, time to keep the pressure out of your mind.’” See Hughes on page 3
