Kacee finished his high school career with a 182-29 record, and was a four-time state representative, three-time place finisher, Greater Rochester All Star for four years, Section V class champion for three years, All Greater Rochester for three years, and freshman All American. “He is the most dedicated 285-pounder in NYS in recent years,” said Grillo. “What sets him apart is that he is a tremendous athlete.”
Kacee will study criminal justice at the NCAA Division II school and plans to be a conservation officer. “Kacee wouldn’t be anywhere without his coach, John Grillo,” said his mom, Tammy Sauer. “He was more than a coach – Kacee’s friend and mentor, too.”
