  1. Most of the locals will start around the 10th of January. Most HSPL meets around here will be on Thursdays with a few bigger meets on Saturdays. Also most schools kinda pair off with meets consisting of 4 to 5 schools to keep the meets smaller and more manageable. Last year LCM,SILSBEE,WOS,OF were lifting together.
  2. Got back from Vegas this morning in time to go to work. >:( We had 13 GOLD metals and 3 SILVER!!!!!!! :D  Ricki Calvert was named BEST lifter in her weight division and Maygan Crosslin was named BEST Lifter in her division.
    Blythe Ferguson(LCM) set WORLD RECORDS for age and weight class in all 3 lifts and also total.
    Makaley Harper (NED) set a WORLD RECORD in her Deadlift.
    12yr old Shane Ratcliff finally broke ou 

    Great week in Vegas but I am glad to be home!!!!! I cannot tell you how many complements our kids from SETX got from all the foreign JUDGES and competitors on their lifting form, composure and enthusiasm I think our girls took a picture with EVERY LIFTER there. They cheered for all and were by far the best cheerleaders at the place. This was a true WORLD event with around 700 lifters from GER,PORTUGAL, RUSSIA , AFRICA and all over trying to see who was the best.

    I was honored that Mike  had enough faith in me to help but Robert (Junior) Johnson and Bethani Duncan deserve all the credit for keeping Mikes Gym going  in his absence. I found out how much work goes into keeping all these kids wrapped one right after the other. Get well soon MIKE !!! 
  3. They all have place and have ALL done a great job getting kids signed. The Houston outfits are also GREAT at doing this . The SETX groups have learned over the past 10 years what Houston already knew and CRUSH, SHOCKERS  and BLAST have all been very successful at getting kids to the next level. As far as DADDY BALL in the higher ranked teams. Both JHARRELL and TROUT's daughters have long since quit playing and they both continue to coach and get players signed. The best one is the one that fits you and your kid.
  4. Heading to Las Vegas on Wed for Powerlifting WORLDS !!!!
    We have 17 kids lifting from the CROSS TRAINERS Gym ( Mike Denmon) lifting ages 12 - 20. They are from Nederland, Buna , LCM, Silsbee, Vidor,West Brook and Splendora. Both girls and boys will lift Friday and Saturday against people from across the country and the world. Good luck to all of them .

    Would like everyone to also know that Mike is in Houston taking treatments and will not be able to make the trip. He has given lots of time and energy to these kids and has never asked for anything in return. Please keep him and his family in your prayers so he can beat his illness and be back in the gym real soon.
  5. I also got to see these kids on Sunday REAL CLOSE. They played great ball with ONLY 9 girls all day. No subs at all. Pitcher pitched every game every inning as far as I know and did an awesome job. Coaches and fans were EXTREMELY respectful to UMPIRES ;D and the other teams . Most of their were also 1 run ball games.  2-1 , 4-3 type ballgames. Congrats to the BLAST 12U for a job well done . I was part of a 12U Blast team in 2005 that went to Panama and won the whole thing . It would be nice to see it done again. Good Luck
  6. Texas girls Kicked Butt in La this weekend.
    Ned Lifters Calvert, AJ(Taco) can't say her name, and 2 others won 1st in their classes. Taco Outstanding Lifter Light weights

    Maygan Crosslin LCM 1st Outstanding Lifter HWEIGHTS, Blythe Ferguson 1st, Kallye Harris 2nd

    Might have missed some cause I do not know all of them but we were LOUD and PROUD of all our TEXAS girls.

    If you have never been to a meet it is very different from any other HS event you will go to. One of the few places where LCM,VID,NED and Silsbee parents and kids cheer for each other no matter where they go to school. Tobie Dorn was lifting her last deadlift after missing her first 2 attempts and all these girls from all our schools were out cheering for her . Morris from Silsbee was attempting 485 in her deadlift and the same thing happened.
    Also would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Mike Denmon from Mauriceville for all he does for these kids no matter where they are from. He works his tail off to make sure these kids do the right things both in and out of the gym. 
  7. Would someone list all the results from the meet last Thursday. I some of the girls results but not all.
    I know that Megan Crosslin(LCM) won her class. she had a 365 deadlift
    Kid from Silsbee(think Mark Henrys sister)(not sure) 385 deadlift
    Freshman Kallye Harris (LCM)3rd in the 132 class 465 Total  her 1st meet. she weighs 125
    Big Boy from WOS won the XL class by a bunch had a Deadlift of 635 with a lot left to give.
