Vegas Grappler


Yesterday Brandon wrestled at the Vegas Grappler. Typically he wrestles at his true weight, but this past week we wrestled him up with the 50 pound kids. Locally, the competition is not as tough as it is when we travel to the bigger tournaments and at the risk of sounding cocky...Brandon just blows through the kids in his weight here in Vegas. He'll never get any better doing that. To our surprise, he had 23 kids in his bracket. That's unheard of here....
It was a long day and Brandon wrestled his heart out. He took 4th place. Not bad considering the weight difference. He had some pretty intense matches, only losing two and to the same kid both times. He had one match where the kid was winning by points but Brandon ended up pinning him in the 3rd period. That was a great match!
Next weekend it's off to Utah for the Beehive Brawl.
