Coach: Rob Nordin

2006-7 Season: record inc. (7th place NEMC)

Returning athletes: Brandon Crossnoe, so.; Brian Crossnoe, so.; Thomas Domerese, sr.; Jeremy Fuller, so.; Ryan McArdle, jr.; Ethan Oslund, so.; J.D. Putz, so.

New to team: Stephen Cunningham, jr.; Jordan Frank, so.; Jordan Frank, so.; Joshua Hunke, so.; Scott McLaughlin, fr.;

Outlook: The Braves will field a very young lineup that includes just one senior and seven sophomores. Seven wrestlers do return from last year, when the Tawas program started over from scratch after a one-year hiatus.

Tom Domerese, the lone senior, was also the most accomplished Tawas wrestler last year. Domerese advanced to the individual regional tournament with a fourth-place finish at districts.

Junior Ryan McArdle is the only junior. Brian and Brandon Crossnoe, Jeremy Fuller, Ethan Oslund and J.D. Putz also look to improve on their first varsity seasons. Team improvement, however, will be a challenge unless the Braves are able to recruit more athletes and field something closer to a full lineup.
