C.B. Aycock’s Hughes looks back at successful season

• Going into this season, Charles B. Aycock junior wrestler Tyler Hughes expected to compete for a state champion. Hughes made the most of his winter campaign by finishing the season with a 56-4 record and a third-place finish at the N.C. High School Athletic Association individual wrestling championships. On Thursday afternoon, Hughes took some time to reflect on what he accomplished this past season as he lays the foundation for a potential championship run next season. “I didn’t meet my biggest goal, which of course, was winning states,” said Hughes. “I think I did pretty good overall winning third.” A wrestler since he was 12 years old, Hughes credits C.B. Aycock assistant coach Mark Bass with pushing him to get on the mat. “Coach Bass was my football coach, and he was big in getting me to wrestler,” said Hughes. “At first, I didn’t really want to, but he pushing me and got me into it. Now I love it and it’s one of my favorite things to do.” Rest of the story at
