Phillipsburg's Stateliners pulled off a feat Saturday night no other Phillipsburg team had since 1998: the New Jersey program beat Easton.
Jim Tersigni
Coach Jason Magditch's team defeated the Red Rovers 30-21 in a cross-state showdown at "The Pit."
The Stateliners built a big lead before Easton came back to make it close.
There were plenty of heroes for the Stateliners -- especially heavyweight Jim Tersigni, who shocked Justin Grant 6-4 in overtime at heavyweight.
Tersigni won the Brad Weaver Memorial Award as the outstanding wrestler.
