By Brian Holbrook Hugo High School Sports Writer Usually at this time of the year you hear of the success of Hugo basketball. Basketball does give us much excitement, but this past weekend the spotlight was on Hugo’s powerlifting team. There were eight schools at the meet: Durant, Kingston, Porum, Allen, Hugo, Antlers, Caddo and Atoka. Out of all these schools Hugo crushed the competition with an overall team score of more than 190 points. The team closest to that was Durant with 130 points. The following placed in their weight divisions: Alex Foster placed second in the 123-pound, Jason Jordan place second in the 132-pound, Daetarius Williams placed fourth in the 132-pound, Brandarius Lane placed first in the 145-pound, Spencer Fields placed third in the 157-pound, Jordan Hill placed fifth in the 157-pound, Michael McCullar placed second in the 168-pound, Willie McAlester placed first in his weight division and was also the overall lifter and outstanding light weight lifter. George Webb placed first in the 181-pound, Brian Holbrook placed first in the 198-pound, Andre Rangel placed fourth in the 242-pound and Collin Houchen placed third in the super heavy. This year’s powerlifting team is very talented. We enjoy lifting and working hard every morning at 7. It’s nice to be able to workout with a positve attitude because it motivates you to work harder. The positive attitude comes from our coach, who pushes us to keep working and do our best. Another reason we are positive and sucessful is that every lifter has a good attitude and is willing to work so that we can be at our best when competition comes. Our next meet is regionals March 5 at McAlester, and that determines if we go to state or not. You have to place first through fifth to qualify for state. |
