JH Powerlifting State Results

The hardwood heroes of Inola have reason to celebrate as a select group of basketball players from the town have been handpicked to represent their school in the 5 Lakes Conference. This conference is composed of schools from Inola, Little Kansas, Salina, Adair and Claremore Sequoyah. Leading the charge for the Longhorns is senior Jackson Welch, who was chosen as the Player of the Year for the 5 Lakes Conference for the second year in a row. Additionally Aidan Clark and Trevor Groff were named All-Conference. For the state contending Lady Ladyhorns, senior guards Addison Mootry and Miller Weast were chosen as Co-MVPs. Junior guard Brynna Wiginton was named as All-Conference.

In a testament to Inola School's commitment to academic excellence, a capable team of scholars has received an exclusive invitation to compete in the prestigious National Academic Championship (NAC). This invitation marks a significant achievement for the dedicated students and their mentors, who have tirelessly pursued intellectual pursuits and demonstrated outstanding knowledge in various academic disciplines. Inola's eighth grade team was OAAC (Oklahoma Association for Academic Competition) District, Region and Area undefeated Champions, and then State Runner-up. Their impressive 20-1 record and total points was the best in the state in their division. They were also state runner-up in the National Science Bowl Regional tournament. Members of the Inola High School JV team competed at Nationals last year as eighth graders in Washington DC, having finished first in the NSB (National Science Bowl) tournament, as well as in the New Orleans NAC where they finished third and qualified for the NAC playoffs. Finishing eighth overall earned them a return invitation this year. Additionally, most of this team also competed in the “I Want Answers” tournament held at Rogers State University throughout the fall of 2023 and finished second out of 16 teams. Look out, Chicago! There’s a herd of Longhorns headed your way in June! Under the guidance of coach Carol Holland, the team has honed their skills in subjects ranging from mathematics and science to literature and history. The rigorous preparation sessions and collaborative efforts have not only enriched their academic knowledge but also fostered a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. The National Academic Championship, slated to take place during June in Chicago, will bring together some of the most brilliant young minds from around the nation. Teams will compete in a series of challenging rounds that cover a broad spectrum of academic disciplines, ultimately crowning one team as the national champion.

On Thursday, March 7, junior high powerlifting athletes from across the region gathered at Chandler High School for Junior High Powerlifting Regionals. The event featured a range of weight classes, allowing young athletes to compete against others of similar strength and size. From squats to bench presses and deadlifts, the competitors demonstrated not only their physical prowess but also their commitment to the sport. Three standout performers from Inola included Aiden Bruce (8th grade), Landon Ford (9th grade) and Owen Ellis (9th grade). These three won their weight divisions, qualifying them for the Junior High Powerlifting State Competition next week on Thursday, March 14, at El Reno High School.
