KFDM COOP Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Lady Titans come up big in Anahuac powerlifting The Port Arthur News Port Arthur Memorial placed first in team standings at the Anahuac powerlifting meet on Jan. 20 and second in the West Brook Invitational last Saturday. All 14 of coach Jule Joffrion entrants secured a medal in Anahuac as the Lady Titans collected 80 points to easily outdistance runnerup Anahuac at 26. Seven Lady Titans placed first in their respective weight categories. Memorial's winners at Anahuac were Shondrelle Eckford (420 pounds in the 105-pound class), Darnisha Wells (480 in the 114s), Regina Linden (575 in the 148s), Kayla Rougeau (640 in the 181s), Mysheka Bill (705 in the 198s), Maria Petry (815 in the 220s), and Ashley Norman (730 in the super heavyweights). Memorial's second-place finishers at Anahuac were Chelsie Edwards (345 in the 148s) and Summer Kennerson (535 in the 165s). Seven schools participated in Anahuac with Memorial being the lone entry from Class 5A. West Brook's Red team was the winning group at last Saturday's West Brook Invitational followed by Memorial in second. Bridge City and Ozen tied for third place in points but Bridge City claimed the third-place honors by virtue of having more first-place winners. None of Memorial's girls brought home first-place medals at West Brook but three Lady Titans placed second. They were Eckford (450 in the 105s), Bill (755 in the 198s), Norman (745 in the super heavyweights). Neither Mid-County school placed high in the team standings but each sported second-place individual finishers. The lone Port Neches-Groves individual runner-up was Chelsea Hammonds with 615 pounds in the 132-pound class. Two Nederland girls were second in their respective divisions -- Trinity Pierce (460 in the 97-pound class) and Halasi Harper (670 in the 123s). Bridge City lacked the depth but certainly not the high-quality caliber of lifters. Four of the Lady Cardinals were first-place finishers at WB -- Nicole Threatt (495 in the 97s), Alexa Richmond (675 in the 114s), Brittney Myers (775 in the 132s), and Valerie Brown (920 in the 198s). -- TOM HALLIBURTON
