Three boys will represent Bowie High School today at the Texas High School Powerlifting Association state meet.
The meet will take place starting at 8:45 a.m. in the Taylor County Expo Center in Abilene.
Cristian Martinez will compete for the Jackrabbits in the 132-pound division. Martinez’ best three-lift total this season has been 1,035 pounds.
Abraham Landaverde is set for the 148-pound class. His best three-lift total this season is 1,140 pounds.
Rounding out the group is Saul Landaverde at 242 pounds, with his best three-lift total this year at 1,360 pounds.
Bowie head powerlifting coach Quentin Berend said this will mark the first time at state for all three boys.
“It’s the highest number of qualifiers we’ve had, so we’re pretty pumped up about that,” Berend said. “I think we will be in contention for medals.”
Martinez and Abraham Landaverde have been hovering near the top of regional rankings all year and Saul Landaverde worked his way up to second place after the Region 6 meet in Chico in February.
“Their totals have been increasing all year,” Berend said.
Today’s weigh-in is from 6:30-8 a.m. There will be a judges/coaches meeting at 8 a.m. and then the opening ceremonies. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

Many Prairie Valley fans had misgivings about taking state-ranked and defending Class A state champs Perrin Jan. 6, one fan saying “nothing good can come of this.”

The Bulldogs gave a solid showing against the visiting Pirates, staying close for more than three quarters before outside shooting by Perrin enabled the visitors to pull away in a 72-57 win.

Perrin looked to blow things out early, with a 5-0 lead in the opening minute before Sawyer Bray snapped the string. The Pirates went on an 8-0 run for a 13-2 lead mid-quarter.

Prairie Valley’s Trae Campbell showed what kind of night it would be by getting inside for baskets. Jarrett Horton’s 3-pointer capped a 4-of-11 shooting frame for the ‘Dogs, who were down 19-11 after eight minutes.

Several Bowie turnovers in the opening moments Friday night enabled visiting Holliday to get out to a 10-2 lead. The Eagles then used a third quarter offensive explosion for a 72-27 win over the host Rabbits.

Four turnovers in the first 90 seconds hurt the Rabbits, Holliday took advantage and broke things wide open. Holliday led 10-2 with Tyler Richey coming through with the only Bowie points. Cason Airington’s 3-pointers ended a 3-of-8 shooting frame for the Rabbits, which were down 17-8 after one quarter.

Bowie’s shooting continued going downhill into the second quarter, the Rabbits missing all five shots. A free throw by Richey midway through the frame would be the only point. Holliday outscored Bowie 13-1 in the second frame to take a 30-9 lead at the half.

The Visitors opened the third quarter on a 12-1 run, over the first nearly three minutes of the third. Both teams had their best scoring quarters in the third.
