year. We lost five very good seniors who won 224 matches last year. We are a very young team. We have 20
wrestlers out, with two seniors, and 18 freshmen and sophomores. We could start five sophomores, seven
freshmen with the two seniors. We will have growing pains, but our goal will be to improve and be much
better by the end of the season."ELMWOODCoach: David Lee, 25th season.2012-13 finish: Fifth in the NBC

Uzelac.Coach’s comment: "We are young and inexperienced, but we will surprise some people in and out of
the NBC. We could have a few more forfeits than usual, so we will have to have more of our wrestlers going
for pins. We will have a good senior class when it comes to leaders and our coaching staff is outstanding.
We’re looking forward to a season of growth on and off the mat."LAKECoach: Tom Jackson, 14th
season.2012-13 finish: Fourth in the NBC meet.Returning lettermen: Damon Keister, Willy Hall, Matt Church,
Marcel Bryan, Robert Cruz and Damon Plummer.Coach’s comment: "We lost some wrestlers last year to
graduation who were key to our success. We do, however, have five returning district qualifiers and some
talented young wrestlers who will hopefully make an impact this season. The strengths in our lineup should
be the lower weights and the upper-middle weights where we have our more experienced wrestlers returning.
The key for the season’s success as a team will lie in those questionable areas where we have some younger
guys with a lot of potential, but haven’t yet had a full, successful season."OTSEGOCoach: Joe Gerwin,

successes of last year which included sending send wrestlers to districts and one wrestler to state. The key
is staying healthy, working hard and having good grades academically. We hope to overcome our struggles at
the league meet last year by placing in the top three this year. Overall, we have a solid group of guys who
stick together and have high goals that they are constantly working to achieve. They are a very fun group to
coach."ROSSFORDCoach: Randy Hussar, first season.2012-13 finish: Seventh in the NBC.Returning
