In 2013 he helped on 12 goals which is a single season standard for the program that still stands, resulting in a Second Team All-Skyline Conference citation. The Knights improved their win total in each of his four seasons, going from two wins in 2010 to eight in 2011 to 11 in 2012 to finally 12 in 2013.
 
Over the course of his time as a Knight, Mincher and the team steadily improved their production resulting in the program's first conference championship and appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2013. He finished his stellar career with the Knights with 55 points, scoring 16 goals and 23 assists in 76 games played.
 
Among his favorite memories as a student-athlete at the Mount, Brandon lists winning the program's first Skyline Championship, competing in the MSMC math race every year for charity and meeting teammates that have become lifelong friends. Brandon also liked supporting other programs at the Mount, especially bring intensity to the Kaplan Center for home basketball games.
 
"Grades came first, but celebrating after soccer victories with all of my teammates was always enjoyable," he notes.

Still active in competitive soccer and basketball leagues, Brandon attributes his work ethic, determination and perseverance to his mother and gives credit for his competitive nature to his brother Bryan who lives in California.
 
Brandon, an avid fan of fitness, poker and the New York Yankees says " Being a student athlete game me an extreme confidence to attain success at everything I do in life. I've always been competitive and hated to lose on the field and I still carry that attitude today with everything I do, whether it is work related or extracurricular activities. It allowed me to develop discipline as well as leadership skills, while also being able to excel in a group. Allowed me to instantly be a part of a brotherhood with teammates when entering college, those bonds will last forever."
