Just want to wish everyone a safe competition. Hope it's competitive and fun.

Just to let anyone who's interested know, Portland cleaned house with 120 something points. Smith County came in second with 57.5 and Trousdale in third with 32.5. I believe that is correct. Overall I thought it was a good day and there was lots of good competition. Congratulations to all who represesnted their school as lifters and lots of congratulations to those who placed or won their class.

What were some of the individual weightlifing totals for some players. Greenbrier is participating in the Robertson Co. Competition on Sat. and it would be cool to compare some totals if you have them. Thanks.

I'm not sure on most of them. I know the highest clean went to Michael Wilmore from Smith County. I think it was 275. The highest bench was a kid from Portland around 320, 325, somewhere around there. Denny from Smith County could've gotten more on his power clean but chose not to because he had already won his class and was saving himself for bench. He probably would've beaten Wilmore. I'll try to get a list of the winners and their lifts for you.

Actually, the highest bench press of the day came from Chris Cantrell of Dekalb County at 335 lbs, and the highest clean came from Ben Gardener of Portland at 280 lbs. Great day to compete, great motivator for the kids to finish strong in the offseason program/s.

Sorry for my incorrect info. But yes it was a great day of competition. POrtland has a very strong team. I'm probably wrong again but I believe they placed in every weight class but one. Although, it didn't look like to me that they had a single player under 141lbs.
