Head Coach Don Giese returns for his second season.  Despite having a line-up of mostly first or second year varsity wrestlers, Garden City did OK.  They finished third at the Western Wayne Athletic Conference tournament, ahead of established programs like Dearborn, Fordson, and Romulus.  The Cougars placed 14^th in the 26-team Wayne County tournament.  They also got two individuals out of the tough Plymouth District.

   The Cougars lose only two starters to graduation, Jeremy Dubyak (130) and Devin Ashley (135, regional qualifier).

  It appears that virtually every spot in the line-up will be filled with someone with at least one full year of varsity experience.  Regional qualifier Kevin Allard is the most accomplished wrestler, but fellow seniors Aaron Andrews, Kevin Liske, and Zack Cooper could have break-out seasons as well.  Numerous sophomores like Zack Brock, Patton Fickett, Dylan Frye, D.J. Giese, Brian Spehar, and Matt Wisniewski will be looking to bolster Garden City’s record this year.

  Here is a speculative look at what the Cougar line-up may look like:

103 – ?

112 – Dillon Frye (So)

119 – Britton Borlace (Jr) or Rob Doane (Jr)

125 – Nick Doane (Jr)

130 – Devin Marchio (Jr) or Brendan Spehar (Fr)

135 – Brian Spehar (So)

140 – Patton Fickett (So)

145 – Kevin Allard (Sr)

152 – Kevin Liske (Sr)

160 – Aaron Andrews (Sr) or Matt Wisniewski (So)

171 – Don Giese (So)

189 – Zach Cooper (Sr)

215 – Austin Caudill (Jr)

285 – Zach Brock (So)
