Coach Reference:

Brandon Tessau is an integral member of our team.  He is a prime example of what can happen when an athlete makes up his mind to be the best. Brandon has spent countless hours in the wrestling room and weight room in order to give himself and opportunity to contribute to the program to the best of his ability.  He’s grown into a fierce competitor and outstanding team leader, coming from a JV freshman year, to 20+ varsity wins as a sophomore, state qualifier with more than 30 wins as a junior, and being currently ranked in the state as a senior.  Brandon brings intensity, work ethic, and excitement to this program.  We are very grateful for him.
