Brandon gave the state champion Eagles a boost defensively from his center field position. He also offered production in the lineup.

In Saturday night’s decisive Game 3 of the state championship series against Perquimans, Brandon had two hits and drove in a run at Ting Stadium in Holly Springs. Earlier in the day, he scored a run in UCA’s victory in Game 2.

The Eagles won the Class 1A state title for the third year in a row.
