Brad Hansen

Brad Hansen, was described by one of his former wrestlers as "a coach who exemplifies what coaching is all about, the kids. Brad does all that he does for them not for rewards or recognition.

His teams finished among the state's top five teams five times. His career continued as head coach at Madison High School from 1990-1994 before he moved to Sugar Salem High School as the assistant coach from 1995-2006. He then became the head coach in 2006.
