WSHS Powerlifting Team

The Winnfield Tigers added a new sport to their competition this year with Powerlifting. Coach Danny Carroll, along with Coach Jarvous Felton and Coach Lyn Bankston, melted together a group of students to participate in this challenging sport.

All season long these lifters, coaches, and those who were standing by to support gave their all. “The kids showed great character and competition drive during each meet. Being a first year program they excelled all year”, says Coach Carroll. The State Meet was held at the Rapides Parish Coliseum in Alexandria, where schools from all across Louisiana came to show what they have been training for all year.

The lifters at Winnfield Senior High School would lift five days a week, two hours per day. On competition week they would push a little further and lift up to four hours, with 72 hours rest time before competition day.

Town and Country Presents “The Lost Ways”

March 16-Backyard

Chicken Flocks

If you have never raised livestock one of the best way to get started is chickens. They don’t need much room and they are one of the least expensive animals to raise. They are also just a lot of fun, each hen with her own unique personality. And oh yeah, the eggs out of your back yard taste sooo much better than the store bought varieties plus backyard eggs contain less cholesterol, less saturated fat and far more vitamin A, vitamin E and omega 3 fatty acids than the ones in styrofoam crates.

Backyard Chicken Flocks for Beginners will be taught by Winnfield’s very own Donnie Moon. Our county agent will help beginners get off to the right start as he covers the basics of raising backyard poultry.
