National Champion!

The Beehive Brawl is a nationally recognized wrestling tournament with participants from all over the United States. We saw kids from New Mexico, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona. All of the kids showed up to wrestle and the competition was tough.
Brandon was no exception! He wrestled with his heart and it paid off. He took 1st place for his weight division! That's right, my son is a NATIONAL CHAMP! He dominated his opponents and won everyone his matches. The only points that were scored on his were penalty points for using a freestyle wrestling move!
Check out the team website for more pictures and videos!

This place was HUGE!
