The Calvin Lady Cougars defeated the Georgetown Bulldogs 12-4 on May 1 to win the Class C state Championship for the first time since 2008.

in 2019 the Lady Cougars were state runner-up, but fell just short of the mark, and didn’t get a chance to make their run in 2020 due to COVID-19 cancelling the season.

“I’m proud of their hard work and all they accomplished,” Head Coach Chad Camp said. “Last year we didn’t get the opportunity, but this year we finished off what we started in 2019.”

The WSHS Tiger powerlifters excelled at the 2-A State Powerlifting Meet held at ULM on March 18th.

The day started off shaky with two missed attempts on the squat for Travon Nichols but the experienced Junior fought through it to beat his Regional lift by 30 lbs on his last attempt of 460 lbs.

Nichols then went on to bench press 285 lbs and dead lift 555 lbs for a total of 1300 lbs to finish 3rd overall in the 198 lb division.

Sophomore, Alex Adams, had a stellar day with 3 personal bests of 490 lbs on squat, 300 lbs on bench press, and 525 lbs on dead lift for a total of 1315 lbs which was good enough for State Runner-Up in the 181 lb division.

WSH is proud of their commitment to the sport and are looking forward to seeing them represent WSH next year.

Congratulations to AHS Tyrell King , he finished off a great career competing at the Texas High School Powerlifting Association State Meet in Abilene this weekend.

Tyrell squated 650, benched 410, and dead lifted a personal best 6051bs to tie for 5th place out of 16 lifters in the 3081b weight class. 500 of the strongest lifters in Texas from all classifications descended on the Taylor County Expo Hall to lift Saturday.

“Very proud of the way Tyrell battled back after a tough start to finish out by going 3 for 3 in the dead lift and setting a PR on his last pull. There were some strong lifters in his class and some big weight being pushed around. Tyrell has been a huge part of Atlanta Iron the last four years and we will really miss him!”

The recent cold fronts that passed through Louisiana resulted in prolonged periods of sub-freezing temperatures, and single-digit temperatures in some areas. While these extreme conditions had many devastating effects on our state, they will also result in a reduction of aquatic weeds across the state.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is currently evaluating impacts of the freeze on aquatic vegetation coverage statewide and will continue this assessment as we move into the spring. The extent of this impact will not be known for several weeks, as consistently warm water temperatures are needed for the dead plants to decompose and drop from the water surface. Some plants will continue to float and remain green temporarily, but many will eventually die, break down and sink.
