Yes, Marcus was a freak! The most underrated thing about him was his GRIP. His hand size and grip were incredible, he would get a hold of you and it was nearly impossible to escape. Bobby Howard was probably our best technical wrestler on that squad, he is currently our assistant coach at the varsity. That class was very good losing only once their 8th grade year ironically to the same kids they lost to in HS---Portage. We have a couple of similar classes coming up now, in fact, the resumes of these current youngsters coming up are incredible so hopefully we will be successful. Guys like Brown, Reed, Morache, Beck, Curtis, Rumisek, etc. helped win the coaches trophy that year at state. A great class of kids.
Cam Brady is another wrestler in a long line of tough Lowell kids.
