Robbinsville's Kage Williams becomes NCHSAA's 13th four-time wrestling champ
Robbinsville senior Kage Williams won his fourth N.C. High School Athletic Association wrestling championship on Saturday, making him the 13th wrestler in state history to do so.
Williams won by pinfall at the 3:00 mark in his match against Mitchell's Camron Cook to take the 190-pound 1A championship and finish off his final year with a 37-0 record.
Williams has just only one career loss, an injury default in a sophomore-year tournament. That should come with an asterisk, as the current rules that were not in place during his sophomore year would not have counted the injury default (the injury was sustained during a prior round) against his record.
His four-year record is officially 165-1. Williams was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the 1A championship, helping Robbinsville to the team title as well.
Also on Saturday, Mallard Creek's Cameron Stinson became the 14th wrestler in state history to win four state titles. He was the third to do so with an undefeated career record.
