Belle Plaine’s Tristan Wasser-Athlete Spotlight-Presented by Shelter Insurance-Gooch

By Blake Chadwick

When talking about dual-threat quarterbacks, Tristan Wasser from Belle Plaine has to come to mind despite a rough year last season as a team for the Dragons.

“Tristan is a leader who has a lot of potential to help lead our team to a great year,” head coach Michael Fox said.

With nine years of experience under his belt, the senior is a versatile and seasoned player, excelling as both a quarterback and defensive back for the Dragons. His extensive knowledge of the game and leadership skills make him an invaluable asset on both sides of the ball.

“I think what makes me stand out is being able to make the right plays and right decisions and trusting my teammates to make plays,” Wasser said.

The Dragons are eager to turn things around after finishing last season with a 2-7 record. They are determined to reclaim the success they last saw in 2019 when they achieved an impressive 8-2 finish. With a renewed focus and determination, the Dragons are ready to fight for a winning season once again.

“My personal goal is to be better than myself last year,” Wasser said.  My team goal is to host a home playoff game. I want to help turn the losing ways around by learning and competing as much as possible in practice, encouraging teammates to do the same.”
