ATLANTIC CITY – Hank Stinson electrified the crowd of 8,500 at Boardwalk Hall watching the NJSIAA state individual wrestling championships Sunday.

Trailing by 5-3 with five seconds remaining in the 140-pound bout, the Eastern High wrestler scored a takedown to tie the match, 5-5, and registered back points for a 7-5 victory.

The fans roared as Stinson ran in a circle, waving his arms in victory, while Willingboro’s James Green, who had led throughout most of the bout, sat defeated in stunned disbelief.
