KEYSTONE HEIGHTS - With the specter of an amazing four straight state weightlifting titles on table for Keystone Heights High boys weightlifting coach Lantz Lowery, the normally authoritative commander of the Indian juggernaut is a bit subdued for Friday's Clay County Championship meet to be held in the Indians gymnasium.
"The season has been good, but it is about to get difficult," Lowery said succinctly. "No, we won't win this year."
Lowery's rather blunt assessment of his boys is common for the tactical general, but belies his inner competitive drive that fuels the Keystone Heights machine as the county's best lifters trek to Keystone Heights for the first test prior to districts, regions and state.
The Clay County Championship has been one of the more accurate details of gamesmanship and standing for area lifters with the top three teams in the past decade sending super competitive lifters into the post-season grind with a bit more energy.
Look for the heavies to be chunking up big weights with the likes of Gage Isbell of Middleburg, Braylon Hawkins of Ridgeview, Kevin Reyes of Fleming Island and Trey Jeffries of Keystone Heights all manning the big boy ranks with big numbers.
Lifting starts at 4 p.m.
