Larson's last shot: VCHS senior motivated by pursuit of state championship

February 19, 2012

Even before the NDHSAA State Wrestling Tournament started Thursday at the Bismarck Civic Center, Valley City High School senior Brandon Larson could make a case for his place among the top grapplers in school history.
“He holds school records for most takedowns, most wins, most pins, most everything,” Aaron Larson, Brandon’s father and VCHS coach said earlier this week. “He’s probably the best wrestler the school’s ever had.”
But for all that Brandon has accomplished, his drive for his last tournament as a Hi-Liner this weekend is based on what he hasn’t done — win a state championship.
