By on July 20, 2011 in '11 Lineman Challenges

The Plano Wildcats endured triple digit temperatures in the baking sun for four hours while competing against 24 schools from around the state today in the USA State Lineman Challenge Tournament held in Duncanville.

We don’t have all the stats in yet, so the quick highlights are the team placed second overall for the combined seven lineman challenges, and third place overall in the tug-o-war.

We’ll have a more detailed description of the challenges, the scores, the team and individual challenge rosters and team photo with trophy and medals soon.

In the meantime, know that CiCi’s survived the onslaught of hungry linemen.
