   The powerlifting team is having to overcome challenges this season with COVID-19. 

“This year we’ve been with the COVID-19 we’ve had to go from nine attempts, which would be three attempts on each lift, squat, bench, and deadlift to seven attempts so we’ve got to figure out what our best lifts are and go from there,” Coach Kennth Burns said.

Despite the challenges they are facing the team is still staying motivated and improving as the season continues.

   “ Just competition between all the guys, I mean I played against them in football so I mean seeing them lifting just makes me want to compete even more,”  Junior Dallas White.  

“Just continuing what I’m doing, I’m doing,”  Junior Tyler Middleton 

 The powerlifting team will be in action on Saturday, March 13 at D’Iberville for South State.
