The Beast of the East is wrestled annually in Delaware, but this year, the nation's first state sure looked a lot like New Jersey.

Blair Academy (New Jersey), the #1 team in the nation, followed-up its Ironman title with the BOE team title without much of a challenge.  New Jersey's Bergen Catholic finished second in the team chase.  On the individual side of things, seven wrestlers from the Garden State won individual gold medals.

Zeke Moisey of Bethlehem Catholic (Pennsylvania) won the Most Outstanding Wrestler Award.
