Wes Tessman, Coach Wes attended Grand Rapids High School, graduating in 1974. He wrestled for Hall of Fame coach Skip Nalan. Wes attended Itasca Community College, wrestling for coach Dave Hrouda, and earned an AA degree in 1976. Wes then attended Bemidji State University, where he wrestled for Hall of Fame coach Chet Anderson, getting his B.S. in Social Studies Education in 1979. He achieved his Master's Degree from Southwest State University in 2001. He taught and coached at Amboy-Good Thunder from 1979-1981. He then taught and coached in Graceville, for Graceville-Clinton-Beardsley from 1981-1984. He later taught and coached at Minnewaska Area Schools (Glenwood, Starbuck, and Villard communities) in 1989 and coached there until 2014. His career record is 279-239-1. His teams captured 9 consecutive West Central Conference team titles and 4 second-place finishes. He coached over 70 state entrants with 35 state place winners, including 4 state champions. His teams were known for being physical, well-conditioned, tough on their feet, and very good pinners. Wes did so much more for kids than just coach them. He and his staff took some very rough and tumble kids who didn't have much and made not only great wrestlers out of them but great people. His team was one of the toughest around in the mid-90s thru the mid-2000s. Wes was very quiet in his coaching demeanor. He wasn't loud or disrespectful toward officials. His wrestlers shook hands with the opposing coach, win or lose, and when they addressed him it was always "Mr. Tessman". He was dedicated to his job as a teacher and coach, and he worked hard to do what was right for kids and for our great sport. His philosophy was "team first, individuals second". Wes often took kids down to watch the state tournament on his dime. Wes commanded a lot of respect just simply for how he acted toward officials. Athletic Directors, wrestlers, and fellow coaches. He wasn't afraid to ask tough questions at seeding meetings and at coaches meetings. One of Wes' favorite sayings was "you can do 100 things right, but you will always be remembered for the one bad decision. Always strive to do the right thing". Wes taught so much more than wrestling skills. He retired from teaching in 2016. Wes is married to Toni, and together they have three kids. Amy, Kdily, and Wes Jr. (deceased). Marty Aho, Contributor Marty attended Frazee/Vergas High School, graduating from there in 1973. He was a three-sport athlete and a captain in each (football, wrestling, and track). Marty wrestled for Hall of Fame coach Les Kertscher, and was a 1973 District Champion and became a state entrant by virtue of his runner-up finish at the 1973 Region 6 tournament in a one-class system. Marty has been a mainstay in the program since 1975, working with 8 different head coaches. He has helped the Hornets amass an incredible record of 741-199. The Hornets have won 22 section team titles, 27 Heart of Lakes Conference titles, 3 state titles, 99 state place winners, and 22 state champions. According to Head Coach Clay Nagel, "Marty and Dennis put in endless hours with the program at Frazee, working with the elementary, middle school, spring wrestling (Freestyle and Greco- Roman), and high school. Marty (and Dennis) took over the head job twice over the years. This is a lot to ask of them because they both have fuUtime jobs. They did a fantastic job of carrying on the team success." Today Marty still lives and works in Frazee. His wife's name is Diane; and they have three children: Matt, Mackenzie, and Adam. They have nine grandchildren. Chad Erikson, Athlete Chad attended Apple Valley High School, graduating in 1997. Chad was a five- time state place winner. He placed fourth as an eighth grader at 106 lbs., then won four consecutive state tides. (106 lbs. as a freshman, 119 lbs. as a sophomore, 130 lbs. as a junior and senior) His high school record was 195-15. Chad attended the University of Minnesota, where he was a 2-time Div. 1 Ail- American. His college record was 105-37. He was also a member of the National Champions Minnesota Gophers on two different years. (2001-2002) Chad was well-known and respected in the wrestling world for his intensity and his work ethic. He continues to give back to the sport he loves thru the MN Elite program based in Apple Valley. Brad Gibson, Athlete Brad "Gibby" Gibson attended Chokio-Alberta High School, graduating from there in 1989. Brad was a four-time letter winner and was a three-time state place winner. He was a two-time state Champion, winning state tides at 185 lbs. his sophomore and junior year. Brad only weighed 167 lbs. as a sophomore! This speaks volumes as to just how tough he was. He was the state runner-up at 189 his senior year. Brad attended the University of Minnesota during J Robinson's first year of coaching. Brad compiled a 78-43 record. He is a two- time NCAA Div. 1 All-Americah, placing 6''' at 177 lbs. in 1993, and 3"' at 177 lbs. in 1994. Current Gopher Head Coach Brapdon Eggum said, "Gibby showed us all what being hard-nosed meant. He was not a technical wresder, he beat you with grit, stamina and pure toughness. To learn from him you just had to go to batde." Former Gopher National Champ and Assistant Coach Marty Morgan said, "Gibby had an outstanding work ethic and was a great team player. After spending 20+ years inside of the Gopher.program, Gibby ranks as one of the toughest wresders we ever had during that era, just bone tough, grab him once and see if you can see what I am referring to." Brad was the last collegiate wresder to beat 2-time National Champ Les Gutches from Oregon.
