There will be five Montague County athletes competing in the Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association state meet this Saturday.
The event will take place at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, with competition set for 8 a.m.
Weigh-in is set for 5:30 a.m. with a judges’ meeting at 6:45 a.m. and then the coaches will meet at 7:15 a.m.
Both Bowie head powerlifting coach Quentin Berend and Nocona coach Brandon Owen agree the state meet isn’t like any other.
“I think state does have a different atmosphere,” Owen commented. “I’ve coached in a state championship football game, and it is neat to know the season will end with you having a chance to win a championship. I’m looking forward to the experience.”
Berend said this is the grand stage.
“It’s a huge building,” he said. “They have 10 (weight) racks going at once. They are all lined up. Each weight class has its own rack. A lot of girls will be going for the big weights.”
Both Bowie and Nocona will lift in the same classification – 3A. In all, there are five classes in girls’ powerlifting.
Bowie will be led by 114-pounder Kylie Robinson, and she’ll be joined by Shelbi Rhoda in the 132-pound division and then Hannah Shaw at 148 pounds. Nocona has 165-pounder Lexi Towery and 220-plus division standout Deziray Graham. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.
