Region III Coaches,

            First I would like to congratulate all the coaches who have made the playoffs in their fall sports. Next I would like to introduce myself. I’m Howard Bell, and I have the honor and privilege of being the Region III director for the next two years. I’ve been the girls powerlifting coach in Canton for 7 years, and have been blessed to have been a part of three team regional championships and to have won the last two team 3A state championships. I’m excited to be your director and look forward to continue to make Region 3 the best powerlifting region in the state.

Dates to Remember

February 1st —State dues postmarked

February 25th —Last qualifying date

March 2nd - Regional’s Division1 (4A-5A) &division 3(1A-2A) In Canton

March 3rd – Regional Division 2(3A) In Canton

We have some exciting new changes for the girls. First of all, the Regional meet will be held in Canton this year. It will be broken into the classifications or divisions. Division 1 will be 4a/5a only and will lift on March 2nd along with Division 3(1A-2A). Division 2(3A) will lift on Saturday March 3rd. The greatest change will be the fact that 10 athletes from each division will now get to lift, so basically we will go from 12 total lifters in the past to 30. Remember to recruit and sell your program.
