Y2CJ41 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 By JEREMY HINES Thehines7@gmail.com Brandon Johnson is proof that it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish that counts. As a freshman 220-pounder, Johnson’s start certainly wasn’t pretty. The Lawrence North grappler entered sectionals with a 4-9 record, with three of his wins coming via forfeits. There were only five wrestlers total in his weight class that year in the Arsenal Tech sectional. Johnson was the only one not to advance to regional. In the two matches he wrestled, he was pinned twice. Johnson’s miserable first high school season could have broken most athletes. To go on the mat time and time again and to lose almost every match starts to mess with one’s psyche.

TysonNisley Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Had the privilege of scrapping with Johnson over the summer, super cool to see him break through to the placement rounds of state during his first trip to Gainbridge. Congrats Brandon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
