HIGH SCHOOL POWERLIFTING: Ready for the big stage

Five Montague County powerlifters are set to compete on the biggest stage of them all.
The Texas High School Women’s Powerlifting Association meet will take place on Friday at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, and there’s no experience like it.
“It’s a whole different experience,” Nocona 220-plus pound competitor Deziray Graham said. “You walk in to a big arena, and there are seats all around. There are hundreds of people, and it’s mind-boggling that I get to lift there. It’s cool, it’s breathtaking.”
The capacity for the arena is 10,000, so it is understandable lifters from Montague County would see this as breathtaking – even though this marks Graham’s second trip to state.
Graham will represent Nocona while Bowie will bring four to state with Kylie Robinson at 123 pounds, Carcyn Robertson at 132, Carrington Davis 165 and Mylena Escudero 181.
Robinson is a three-time state qualifier while Robertson, Davis and Escudero are all about to embark on their maiden voyages.
Davis is a freshman and Escudero is a foreign exchange student from South America. Read more in the March 16 Bowie News.
