Baylor School's Brandon Brunner Commits to South Dakota State

Baylor School senior and three-time state wrestling champion Brandon Brunner has committed to wrestle for South Dakota State and will enroll in the fall of 2013.

 

Brunner won the 2010 state championship (103 lbs.) while wrestling for Tullahoma High School in D-I and has won two additional state championships for Baylor in D-II in 2011 (119) and 2012 (132).

 

South Dakota State head wrestling coach is Chris Bono who was the Chattanooga head coach for three years, 2007-09 (39-17 and three SoCon tournament titles) and one of the SD State assistant coaches is Israel Silva who was the Southern Conference 285-pound champion in 2006 for UTC.

 

“I have known coach Bono and coach Silva since I was in the fifth grade and they coached me in middle school when I attended the UTC Kids Club workouts for four years,†said Brunner who has a 3.4 grade point average. “So when they recruited me to attend South Dakota State it was a pretty easy decision to make.â€

 

Brunner has also trained the past two summers at a wrestling training center at Oregon State where Silva was one of the coaches.

 

Wrestling for Four State Titles: Brunner will go for his fourth state title in February and said that the toughest of his three state titles to win was the first one as a ninth grader at Tullahoma … “I was a small 103-pounder compared to some of my opponents who had dropped from 112 pounds so that was tough and I had to compete against some sophomores and juniors as well.â€

 

Baylor Notes: D-II state champion Tate Robinson of Christian Brothers has transferred to Baylor and will be a junior for the 2012-13 school year … Robinson won the 112-pound title in 2010 as a freshman and was state runner-up to Baylor’s Zach Watson in 2012 at 126.

icon_e_smile.gif well, maybe a sophomore was found by some on flowrestling or perhaps at their state duals? icon_e_smile.gif

 

Perhaps... All I'm saying is that the word find makes it sound like Baylor discovered something. Tate is a state champion and All-American, I'm pretty sure most of Tennesee (Baylor Included) knows exactly who Tate is.

    • One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State. 
    • It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014. 
    • Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
    • You really mean the Price twin boys and Lyin Larry.
    • Now that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. That has been going on heavily since the days of Larry Kerr @ AC. One of the major reasons CC has never really had much at all, barring about 2 seasons in football. AC milks it dry.
