SAN MARCOS – The Elgin High School varsity football program had its big guys in action this past weekend as the Wildcats took part in the Lineman Challenge State Qualifying Tournament on June 10 put together by Hardin- Simmons University and held at San Marcos High School.
Wildcats football head coach Heath Clawson, assistant coach Jervis Williams, assistant coach Sean Luna and others traveled with the team and watched them compete in different lineman competitions in San Marcos against top competition in Division 1 with other 5A and 6A schools who entered.
Although Elgin did not advance to the upcoming Lineman Challenge State Tournament that will be held in Abilene, the Wildcats’ group of linemen did very well against tough competition as Liberty Hill High Scool, Canyon High School, Dripping Springs High School, and Georgetown High School all advanced to the state tourney.
Team competitions between schools and their respective divisions included bench press, bobsled drive, obstacle course, tire flip, the PowerDrive, and more. The Wildcats placed near the top in the two events as Elgin came in second place in the obstacle course and had a fourth-place finish in the tire flip.
Elgin’s football program under Clawson and his staff will continue its hard work this summer with Week 2 of speed, agility and strength training at Wildcat Stadium early in the morning this Monday through Thursday. There will be eight weeks total going through the end of July.
