This was the third year in a row that these two teams have met for the state title, with St. Joe's holding a 2-0 advantage. It was the Fighting Irish's turn to represent South Jersey and prove they could capture the title, and they did.

By Vincent Lewis Jr.
It couldn't have been scripted any better when two very good wrestling teams go against one another. With each team getting their share of pins and decisions, this match was decided by the final bout. The Eastern Vikings (7-3) upset the Lenape Indians (9-1) by getting a pin by Mike Davidowich to defeat their opponent 27-26. This was a classic example of a team not giving up to score the come from behind victory.
