IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN THAT YOU START A SPORTS STORY AT A PIANO...... BUT THEN BRIAN WARDEN IS FAR FROM YOUR TYPICAL ATHLETE....... FIRST OF ALL, HE'S AN ALL AREA FOOTBALL PLAYER, ANCHORING THE IDAHO FALLS LINE...... BUT HE ALSO PLAYS THE GUITAR...... HE HAD A STARRING ROLE IN LAST SUMMER'S MUSICAL THE LITTLE MERMAID..... HE EARNS SPENDING MONEY BY PLAYING THE UKELELE...... AND, HE WON THE 5A 215 POUND WRESTLING TITLE AT LAST WEEKEND'S STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS....

TO WIN, BRIAN HAD TO BEAT THE NUMBER ONE SEED, AND THE GUY WHO BEAT HIM IN THE SEMI FINALS LAST YEAR......

BUT BRIAN WARDEN IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A WRESTLER...... HE'S THE STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT AT IDAHO FALLS HIGH SCHOOL, AND HE'S A STRAIGHT A STUDENT WHO HAS ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED AT BYU WHERE HE PLANS TO STUDY BUSINESS AND MEDICINE......
