The Lions started off the season strong with a lot of room for growth.

“Jorge Sigala is going to be a good addition to our team as a freshman,” Lockhart Head Coach Josh Gilbert said. “First-time lifter, senior Tanner Castillo, had a strong showing.

“I’m excited about Regional girl returners — Leah Ovalle, Nicole Zamora and Victoria Morales leading our girls’ team.”
