Braden's two victories in 2025 were redemption from a ninth-place finish in discus last year After scratching in his first two attempts to get a mark required to make the event's finals finishing in last place after winning discus at the state track meet in 2023 Braden not only rebounded with two state titles and state record in his final high school track meet More: 2025 UIL State Track And Field Championships: Results More: See every Amarillo-area qualifier in this week's Texas track & field UIL state meet More: Two Texas Panhandle football players sign with Division I programs on early signing day Now a three-time state champion in track and field Braden added to what was already an impressive résumé Braden will head to Colorado Springs to begin his college football career in the fall "(My time at Stratford) has been great," Braden said "The standard there is something else that's not like anywhere else Being around the best coaches in the state And I really don't think I really understand how it is to not have like an outstanding discus coach and shot the coach Braden noted that he may also have the opportunity to compete in discus at Air Force the Elks' senior is preparing for his freshman year on the gridiron in hopes of making the Falcons' travel roster Vitello had just watched two runs walked in when he decided it was time to let the umpires know exactly how he felt about it Vitello had words for all four umpires working the game as he headed for dugout which is where he really took things to another level by throwing a chair You can watch the entire tirade here with the video starting the first bases-loaded walk of the inning Then you'll see a questionable check swing call That's when Vitello decides he's had enough The amount of leeway he actually gets here is quite impressive then walked onto the field to shout at the umpire at third and then the guy at second And he doesn't even get tossed until after he did this move: An umpire looks on as Tennessee’s Tony Vitello goes off on his co-workers the best part of this by far was his final act as he walked off the field Without breaking stride he grabbed a chair and tossed it backwards It was like one of those moves where someone knocks some papers off someone's desk as they walk by The camerawork here is perfect as it zooms in on the chair that's been tossed aside as a final act of defiance Tony Vitello giving everyone an ear full!

The quarterback is considered the No. 3 player at his position and the No. 40 overall player in the country in the 2027 class, according to an average of the four national recruiting services.
