GROVETON — The boys and girls of Groveton ISD’s athletic squad were lauded for their work in the last season at a banquet on May 22.

Athletic Director Matthew Woodard said it was his goal coming into the position to have all sports reach the playoffs, which the teams and athletes accomplished.

Some of the highlights include:

•The boys basketball team had its first winning season in 10 years.

•The boys powerlifting team went to regionals, after not have a team since 2010.

•The softball team, undefeated in district, went to the regional semifinals, where they lost to the team ranked No. 3 in the state.

•There were 52 academic all-district nominations and eight state qualifiers for the Groveton Indians and Lady Indians.

Woodard said the work isn’t done; the next stop is winning a state championship
