Paulsboro 39 Gloucester 31
Will Cruz needed just 45 seconds to deliver the decisive pin in the final bout of the night as the Red Raiders earned the 800th career victory for legendary head coach Paul Morina. Aundre Hill scored a first period pin at 126 for his 100th career win for Paulsboro (9-7). Harry Ulmer (165) and Ashton Wall (175) helped Gloucester (9-7) take the lead late in the dual before the Red Raiders notched back-to-back wins to take home the victory.
In his 40th season for Paulsboro, Paul Morina becomes the second wrestling coach in New Jersey history to join the 800 wins club. Morina has amassed a 800-59-4 record with the Red Raiders, and now sits two wins away from tying former Emerson/Park Ridge head coach Stan Woods (802 wins) for the all-time wins record.
