Wessel is Athlete of the Month
Standout Outlaws foot-
ball player Brady Wessel has
earned Athlete of the Month
recognition for the month of
October from the coaches at
Sisters High School.
Wessel earned all-league
honors and was also named
Defensive Player of the Year
statewide, an honor he shared
with a player from Cottage
Grove.
His coach, Neil Fendall,
cited Wessel’s hard work and
determination as the factors
that make him stand out as an
impact player on the field.
“Often I hear the younger
players in our program mar-
veling at Brady’s ability on
the football field and his big
numbers in the weight room,”
Fendall told The Nugget.
“Every time I hear them men-
tion his ability, I point out to
them that nobody walks in the
door that strong or that good
at a position.
“Brady is an example of
what happens when someone
works doggedly at their craft.
As a weightlifter, Brady is
built for the sport. In football,
however, he showed how to
overcome some mechanical
shortcomings. Compared to
college-level linemen, Brady
is a little bit short and has
arms that don’t measure up
in length. Yet, he constantly
outplayed and outperformed
college-level linemen. If he
should be credited with a
particular ability it would be
the ability, at a young age,
to see the long-term over the
short-term and work to reach
his goals.
THAT is
something
special in
today’s
world.”
