With the 2016-17 wrestling season upon us, it is appropriate to begin recognizing athletes at the high school level that perform above the competition. The first such grappler to be recognized as TOM’s High School Wrestler of the Week is Luke Brandon, of Bentonville High, Arkansas. Brandon and his teammates made the trip to the state of Oklahoma to compete in the Bixby Brad Constantine Open. Wrestling in the 170-pound weight class, Brandon won the tournament by pinning all three opponents he faced. None of his matches made it to the third period. Brandon is a two-time class 6A-7A state champion and three-time state finalist, wrestling at 120, 138, and 160lbs. He owns a 157-27 prep record and is considered the best wrestler in the state of Arkansas this season. Congratulations to Luke Brandon for being this week’s wrestler of the week!...
