Results

 

Linemen from seven area high schools participated in a skills competition on Saturday, July 22, 2006 at Powell High School. Coaches Matt Lowe of Powell and Buck Coatney of Fulton helped to organize the event. Each team consisted of ten players. The events required the linemen to use their strength, agility, quickness, and teamwork skills. Each event was scored like a track meet with the winning team scoring 10 pts, the second place team getting 8 pts., and decreasing points given to the lower-placed teams. The winning team was presented with championship t-shirts. The event was very successful, and everyone is looking forward to a bigger and better event next year.

Looks like it was a pretty evenly matched competition. Way to show out Falcons!

Claiborne seems to have the smallest class there. Not too bad of a showing considering this is their 1st showing.

Glad to see Chase Kennedy did well. He was one of my good friends at Boys State.
