East Union powered to the Girls 2A Powerlifting State Championship on Friday, March 27, at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, leading the competition from start to finish with 50 team points — a margin of 14 over second-place Velma Jackson (36) and 20 over third-place Bruce (30). The Lady Warriors won five individual weight class titles and collected points in nearly every division of the meet.
East Union’s five individual champions spanned the meet from the lightest to the heaviest classes. Freshman Allie Boykin opened the day by winning the 97-pound class at 535 pounds, posting a 210-pound squat, 90-pound bench press, and 235-pound dead lift to start the team’s championship account. Junior Lena Hall won the 123-pound class at 640 pounds with a 280-pound squat and 260-pound dead lift. Sophomore Hollie Grace Petty claimed the 132-pound title at 695 pounds, featuring a 270-pound squat and a 140-pound bench press. Senior Roxie Roberson then turned in one of the meet’s top individual performances, winning the 181-pound class with a 930-pound total — the largest in the 2A girls competition — built on a 390-pound squat, 155-pound bench press, and 385-pound deadlift. Junior Summer Scott capped the team’s title haul by winning the 220-pound class at 860 pounds with a 360-pound squat.
Bruce remained in contention with three individual champions of its own. Sophomore Raniyah Cullins won the 114-pound class at 630 pounds, edging East Union’s Emma Crowe — who totaled 625 — by just five pounds in one of the day’s tightest individual contests. Senior Bryanna Petty won the 242-pound class at 915 pounds with a 390-pound squat and 395-pound dead lift. Junior Mattie Beck Gore delivered the day’s most physically dominant performance in the 242-plus-pound class, totaling 1,055 pounds on a 475-pound squat, a 170-pound bench press, and a 410-pound dead lift — the largest individual total of the 2A girls meet by a significant margin.
Velma Jackson kept pace with Zaylah Olive winning the 165-pound class at 880 pounds on a 340-pound squat and 375-pound dead lift, putting together one of the meet’s strongest mid-weight performances. Senior Kaylee Jordan of Myrtle won the 198-pound class at 760 pounds, and senior Chloe McCullough of Myrtle claimed the 105-pound title at 615 pounds, giving the Lady Tigers two individual championships and a share of fourth place in the team standings.
Senior Lailah Harris of Water Valley turned heads in the 148-pound class, winning with an 830-pound total that featured a 340-pound squat, 155-pound bench press, and 335-pound dead lift — the second-largest total among the lighter weight classes in the meet. East Union’s Rose Webb finished second at 715 pounds, and Bruce’s JamMiyah Mathis was third at 700 pounds, illustrating the depth of the 2A field.
Myrtle and Scott Central both finished with 14 points to tie for fourth, with Eupora and Pelahatchie each at 11 points in a six-team cluster behind the top three. Water Valley scored 10 points and Charleston added eight. East Union’s combination of five individual titles and consistent depth across the full weight order made the Lady Warriors’ 50-point total the most commanding team performance of the 2A meet.
