Harrison finishes fourth in the nation
By Jeremy Darnell Times-News Staff Writer

Brandon Harrison lives to wrestle.

If his performance June 16-19 at the National High School Coaches Association Open in Myrtle Beach, S.C., is any indication, then life is pretty good.

The 15-year-old Harrison finished fourth in a 44-person bracket in the 119-pound classification to earn All-American honors. He also claimed All-American honors last year.

"I didn't expect to do as well as I did," Harrison said. "It was a goal to be an All-American and finish in the top eight, though."

Harrison put together a 37-7 record as a freshman this past season while at East Henderson. He was the Western Athletic Conference champion, finished second in the 112-pound division at the 1-A/2-A Western Regionals and finished seventh at the state tournament.

Harrison plans on attending West Henderson in 2007-08 as a sophomore, adding another outstanding wrestler to the defending WAC champions' fold.
Harrison, who wrestles with the Strong and Courageous club team, captured his first national championship in April of 2006 at the AAU Youth Nationals.

He credits his club coach, Norman Osteen, for much of his success. Harrison says he leans on Osteen to maximize his accomplishments.

"My coach has always been such a big help," he said.
Osteen himself credits Harrison with a newly acquired fire that has transformed him into a formidable competitor.

"Lately he has really got serious about the sport," Osteen said.

"He has improved more in the last three months than he had in the last two years."
And how far can Harrison's career go?

"I think he can wrestle in college as long as he continues his maturity both physically and mentally," Osteen said. "If he stays humble and hungry, he can wrestle and be successful in college."
