While competing Brandon stated (as sweat drips from his forehead) he had to win because his 2nd grade Teacher Mrs. Rude and classmates wished him good luck when he left school early Friday. He said, "I'm going to win so I can take the 6 foot trophy to them on Monday." Well, in the final match he did in it in surprising fashion, using the words 6 year old Daniel used to describe the match, "Brandon you dominated him." Brandon won by a by shutout 8 - 0 having the judges stop the match early because of the point difference. Brandon raised his hands in victory and went on to pick his trophy, he selected a red one, he said, "I don't have a red one."
