Bowie powerlifting sending one to state
Bowie powerlifting is sending one boy back to the state meet after the Jackrabbits and Nocona competed at the regional meet on Friday.
Robert Zambrano is going back to the state meet, but his Bowie teammates and lifters from Nocona did not have a great day overall, with only two lifters finishing in the top five in their weight class.
Zambrano finished second in the 123 class with 1,020 total pounds, a season best for him as he set the regional record for his weight class with 440 pound squat. He was only 15 pounds behind first place, but was 55 pounds ahead of third place.
Zambrano is heading back to state. After finishing 15th last year, there is hope with the amount of weight he is lifting a year later he can make it into the top five to earn a medal.
Outside of Zambrano, there was not a lot of success for Jackrabbit lifters as four did not complete all three of their lifts to earn a total. Only two other lifters did complete their lifts.
Noah Brown finished in eighth place in the 275 class with a total of 1,325 pounds, a season high by 10 pounds. Tripp Brewer finished 11th in the 198 class as he lifted a total of 1,270 pounds, a 65 pound improvement from his previous season high.
The Nocona team had all three of its lifters complete their lifts, with one finishing in the top five in their weight class to earn the Indians a point.
Kaeden Wallace finished fifth in the 114 class as he lifted a season high total of 560 pounds, which broke his previous season high by 35 pounds.
Mitchell Gaston finished eighth in the 123 class as he finished with a total of 600 pounds, a five pound increase of his previous season high. Hayden Matthews placed ninth in the 242 class as he lifted a total of 1,045 pounds.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
