Powerlifting
The PowerDawgs, Bandera’s powerlifting team, had another podium result last week, a bronze for the boys division, this time at the Texas Strength Systems meet held on Wednesday.
As this was the last chance to qualify for Regionals, it was a big field of entries including Bandera, Cole, East Central, Jourdanton, Navarro, Randolph, Southside and Wimberley.
The ‘Dawgs, led by Ethan Brown who garnered his third “Best Lightweight Lifter of the Meet” award this season, had numerous individual podium winners and some top tens to finish third as a team.
“We had some great lifts and we hope its enough to get us multiple regional qualifiers. I am very proud of the boy's efforts all season. A great foundation has been laid for future growth as we have a lot of young lifters who will come into their own next year,” coach Manny Martinez said.
