Branstrom, Schetter, Mercier Get All-U.P. Honors
![]() ESCANABA---The Upper Peninsula's Class D boys basketball teams were in the spotlight as the Upper Peninsula Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association picked its All-U.P. boys basketball teams. Three of the five boys on the U.P. "Dream Team" came from the Upper Peninsula's smallest schools. ![]()
Carney's Wade Schetter (3) drives on North Central's Rob Granquist (15).
Rounding out the Dream Team were Negaunee junior Tyler Jandron, and Marquette senior Mark Pap. Jandron was also selected the U.P. Class ABC Player of the Year. The Marquette Redmen were picked as the Class A-B Team of the Year, and the Negaunee Miners were the Class C Team of the Year.
