Easton gets the Phillipsburg monkey off of their back, snapping a five match P’Burg winning streak with an emphatic 40-24 win in the 25th Street Gymnasium tonight.
Match of the night was 189, where P’Burg bumped Derek Stone up from 172 to wrestle Shae Linegar, who Stone beat last year 9-8 in the toss up that essentially won P’Burg the dual. Tonight, Linegar was leading 5-1 and countered a throw by Stone to put the Stateliner on his back and pin him in the second period. Easton also git a lobster effort from Justin Cosover, who took nationally ranked and favorite to win a NJ state title Gavin Hawk to overtime in a match P’Burg was counting on big bonus points. Easton also got an OT win by Chris Kelly over Owen Garriques in a battle of state qualifiers.
But the story was bonus points. Up top Easton got a fall from Linegar, a major from Alonzo Parker, and Kurtis Crossman stalled the P’Burg heavyweight out of the match (4 technical violations is a disqualification, same points as a pin) as the P’Burg kid got hit with three stalls on bottom, then got hit fir backing up with a minute left in the third period. After a par of Phillipsburg pins at 107 and 114 tied the match at 24, Easton finished the dual fall, tech, tech with Noah Fenner fittingly getting the tech fall to clinch the dual after he could only get a major in the last match last season to lose on criteria.
It’s Jody Karam’s first coaching win over P’Burg at Easton. He beat them as the head coach at Delaware Valley, and went 3-1 in his four years as an wrestler at Easton.
