Any upcoming power lifting events scheduled for around Kentucky? North Laurel, Raceland, and Boyd County have all had great meets with great numbers of football players in the past. They are usually scheduled in February.

The events I have attended have all had power cleans and bench. Some have dead lift and squat.

Raceland was a great event last year. Raceland as a team was very strong last year across the board. A sophomore from Coal Grove, Ohio was amazing at that event. If he comes back this year, he will be a favorite to win it for sure. Squated low 600s, benched low 400s. Super strong young man.

Any upcoming powerlifting events this spring? I heard Bourbon County might be having one this year.

This is what Bravard brings to the table. Get used to these types of blocks from the fullback spot. Holmes High School - Drew Bravard highlights - Hudl

Great news for Jared. This is well deserved.

This was the last high school videoed bench press max for Evan Richardson. 505lbs for 1.

NewCath semifinal against Somerset in 1983. Game was played at Newport Stadium. With about 2 minutes left, NewCath had the ball 1st and 5 on the Somerset 5. Somerset was winning 7-6. Three straight runs and the ball was placed on the Somerset 6 inch line. NewCath went for the field goal and we missed it.

IMO there is nothing more exciting than a competitive powerlifting event. The guys show up and start talking to each other and sizing each other up, but it is friendly. They actually get to talk to one another, unlike football. Just a bunch of guys that value strength getting together to challenge themselves. The best is when some guy steps up and puts up a big number that no one expected. NKY needs to resurrect powerlifting events again.

Squat is Evan's weakest event. 585 lbs. He has trouble keeping his heels on the ground when he gets deep. He leg presses 24 45lb. plates on a standard leg press. He falls forward in the squat. A squat shoe may do the trick.

6' 245lbs.

Evan Richardson of Highlands made his last max of high school career today. Bench 510 lbs. deadlift 680 lbs. Going to University of Cincinnati for engineering. No longer a football player, but one of the strongest in the state.

Evan Richardson from Highlands won the Boyd County event today with a combined weight of 1940: bench 465, deadlift 635, clean 295, squat 545. Weighed in at 236.

Boyd County weight lifting event is this Saturday. Evan Richardson is looking to get 1950lbs in combined 4 events: bench, squat, deadlift, clean

You need to go watch a Highlands practice. No one is "getting their brains beat in everyday at practice by the starters." My son will graduate this year after playing four years. Highlands does not generally hit, much less abuse non-starters. Starters almost always go against each other. I understand your use of hyperbole to make a point, but this is just inaccurate.
