Don’t count someone out just because they’re twice your age! That’s the lesson that Julian Harris, a high school defensive end, after being challenged to a wrestling match by his football coach, Brian Brazil.

In a bit of a twist to offseason workouts, Hebron (Carrollton, Texas) High School football coach Brian Brazil challenged one of his strongest players to a friendly wrestling match.

After being called out, defensive end Julian Harris accepted the challenge.

At first, it looked like Harris was going to dominate the match. He came out strong and even slammed his coach to the mat. Then things changed quickly. Brazil overcame a slow start and pinned his player.

There’s a lot to be said for youthful stamina. But there’s even more to be said for experience and skill, and clearly, Coach Brazil has that in spades.
