Belleville steadily improved during the season last year and had a successful post-season.  Six Tigers made it to regionals and four to states.  Brendan Papin placed fourth at 119 pounds and Forrest Sampson placed fifth at 215.

  Last year’s squad was dominated by seniors and seven starters will be lost to graduation.  Gone are state qualifiers Tyler Schneider (130), Andrew Majewski (145), and Forrest Sampson (5^th at 215).  Other starters were Carter Sherman (135), Kyle Skotak (140), Alex Landa (160), and regional qualifier Dustin Staton (285).

  Head Coach Anthony Munoz and assistant Mike Sherman will have a young team this year.  Participation is very high with 9 freshmen joining 18 sophomores and 11 upperclassmen.  Two proven leaders on the mat return in all-stater Brendan Papin and regional qualifier Mark Tooley.  Several juniors had plenty of varsity matches and really improved during the year, Shames Delahaye, Zach Juchartz, Cameron McCoy, and Ivy Riley.  Big man Devin Kelemen also returns after missing last season with a football injury.

  Below is a guess at what the Tiger varsity line-up might look like:

103 – Christopher O’Keefe (So)

112 – Calvin Jackson (So)

119 – Josh Watson (So)

125 – Ivy Riley (Jr)

130 – Hunter Manke (So)

135 – Brendan Papin (Sr)

140 – Donte Jackson (So)

145 – Josh Wooten (So)

152 – Cameron McCoy (Jr)

160 – Zach Juchartz (Jr)

171 – Shames DeLaHaye (Jr)

189 – Mark Tooley (Sr)

215 – Devin Kelemen (Jr)

285 – Tyler Styrk (Sr)
