We are still feeling the effects of Eastern Michigan's loss as we watched former Eagles compete for new teams this season such as Noah Gonser who went on to Campbell & Sa'Derian Perry who went on to Old Dominion. Yet on the other side of the state opposite of Ypsilanti, Kalamazoo suffered the same fate after the 1981-1982 season. The Broncos of Western Michigan at one time had a wrestling program as well & today we take a look at some of their best wrestlers.
