Springtown’s girls powerlifting team just keeps on winning.

The Lady Pines took part in the Castleberry Invitational last Saturday, Feb. 8.

Springtown took 14 lifters, and all 14 lifters came home with a medal. As a team they finished in first place. Their 63 points was 37 points better than the second place school.

In the 105 pound weight class, Tatiana Contreras took first place and was the meet’s best light division lifter.

Springtown’s Powerlifting team continued their season as they made the short trip to Azle High School to take part in the Hornet Invitational on Tuesday, Feb. 11.

The Porcupine wrestlers finished with a total point score of 43, good for second place.

Three Porcupines; Ethan Jackson (123 pound weight class), Dawson Jones (165 pound weight class) and Korbyn Martin (220 pound weight class) all took home first place medals.

Second place medalists were Austin Richey (148 pound weight class), and Jacob Esskew (220 pound weight class).

After a much needed off day last Friday, the Springtown Porcupines returned to the hard wood on Tuesday, Feb. 11 as they welcomed the Krum Bobcats to town.

This game was a defensive battle from the start. Neither offense could get their shots to fall, and neither defense allowed a second chance opportunity.

Krum jumped out ahead early, but Springtown worked the ball into the post, and Chesney got the scoring started with a basket of his own.

With the season winding down, the Springtown Porcupine basketball team looked to finish their season strong in the very competitive district.

On a very cold Tuesday, Feb. 4, the Porcupines traveled to Argyle.

Logan Mansmann got the scoring started for the Porcupines with a short range jumper. Argyle answered right back a few possessions later. Argyle’s height proved to be an advantage, especially on the rebounds. Argyle had several second chances offensively in the opening quarter.
