Over the years, Brandon's father spent thousands of hours training Brandon to be a point guard. Brandon further developed his game playing for Ammons Running Rebels as a kid and then for the Pittsburgh JOTS AAU team.

Playing basketball at Blackhawk High School, Brandon scored 2,281 points, which was the best of all time at Blackhawk. Brandon helped lead Blackhawk to four section championships (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001), two WPIAL championships (1999, 2000), and a PIAA championship (1999), earning Post-Gazette Fabulous Five and All-State honors three times (1999, 2000, 2001).

At Blackhawk, Brandon was trained by legendary coach John Miller, who recently commented that "Not only was Brandon Fuss-Cheatham one of our greatest basketball players at Blackhawk High School but also one of the nicest guys I've ever coached on the court, he was a bolt of lightning that struck fear in many opponents. I was very lucky to have coached such a talented individual".

Brandon's dedication and skill led him to be named the Pennsylvania Gatorade Player of the Year in 2000, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Male High School Athlete of the Year in 2001, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Boys Basketball Player of the Year in 2001, and ESPN ranked Brandon at tenth among point guards for the freshman class of 2000-2001.
