Rumson-Fair Haven wrestler Hudson Skove wins school’s first state championship
RUMSON, N.J. — If you asked NJ wrestling fans to name one family that could undoubtedly be crowned wrestling royalty, the answer would come quickly and without hesitation: The Skoves.
Long Branch’s Luke Skove won his first state title in 1979, then added two more in 1980 and 1981. Jude Skove joined his brother as a champion in 1980 and in 1983 it was Andrew Skove who took the top spot on the victor’s podium. Jude was second in the state in 1981 and brothers Thomas (1984) and Matt (1978) were both state third-place finishers.
And now, in 2023, exactly 40 years after his relatives celebrated their big wins, it’s Hudson Skove’s turn.
Rumson-Fair Haven junior Hudson Skove made history in the 215-pound NJSIAA state final when he defeated Southern’s Riley O’Boyle, becoming the first wrestling state champion in RFH history. Congratulations to Hudson on this incredible feat. We are so excited for you and we cannot wait to see what happens in your senior year!
