Wrestling fans at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City couldn't have known it then, but the 125-pound high school state final in 2005 was much more than your typical championship match.

The bout pitted Southern Regional High School's Frank Molinaro against Winslow Township's Jordan Burroughs.

Molinaro, a three-time Press Wrestler of the Year, won the first of his three New Jersey state titles with a one-point overtime victory.

Eleven years later, the two are teammates on the United States Olympic Team.
