There is no question that this year will be a rebuilding season with the departure of 2 x All-American Brad Padgett, 149 Michael Markey, 157 Justin Studer, and 174 Lionel Orji.  The lone returner will be Pano Dreves.  However, hopefully there will be some in coming freshman that are set to make an immediate impact.

174/184 Pano Dreves - National Qualifier 2007,
2nd in state in 05 / North Bend High Wt. 174 /
Hometown Northbend / Sophomore

Pano qualified for the nationals in his freshman campaign. 
However, now he will be looked to, to lead a group of brand new faces.  Pano will also change weight classes.  In high school, he was a state runner up at Mt. Si High School.
 

184 Norman Orr - Norman placed in the High-School state tourney a few times for Everett High.  Norman was also a NJCAA National Qualifier 2 years ago at 165 lbs.  Norman could be the top "Riding" wrestler in the country.  He has pinned or teched all but 4 wrestlers this year, and has unmeasurable talent on top. However, he must become a stronger wrestler on his feet to win the National Tourna-ment.  I'm expecting big things from Norman this year.

  HWT. Jeremy Williams placed 8th in the High-School state tournament 2 years ago for Bethel High at 215 lbs.  However, he is going to have to learn to wrestle as a true heavyweight at 275 lbs.

 
184/197 Michael Morales- 2007 District and Regional Champ, and placed 3rd in the state tournament at 189 for Tenino High School.

  157/165 Patrick Fleming Jr. - Placed 4th in state at
 state at 152 lbs. for Mount Rainier High.

157 John Gallagher- Placed 1st in League and Regionals,
as well as 4th in State for Emerald Ridge High.

HWT. Zach Corbett just recently earned the starting role. Prior
to this year, Corbett was side-lined his freshman year with a
knee injury.  Zach is a big kid, and could do a lot of damage
if he polishes up his technique.  He attended Shelton High.

149 Chessjuan Monk - Chessjuan placed 3rd in the state 4A tourney as a senior for Evergreen High.  He has only been wrestling 4 years.  However, he is one of the most athletic wrestlers on the team.

141/149 Ionica Hanson - 4th in state forWest Seattle High
and a transfer from North Idaho Community College.

HWT. Tyler Woolridge - has a lot of potential.  However, he will not be tested this year in live competition.  This year he will take a redshirt year.  He was a high-school standout for Evergreen High.

 

165 Nick Wallick- Wallick was a high-school wrestler for Snowmamish High, and trains Jiu-Jit-Su at Demon Ji-Jit-Su.

184 James Jensen - James is beginning his second season.  As a freshman, he split time.  This year he is behind Orr, and will be a utility wrestler.
