Top 10 will qualify for State Competiton in May at Dell Diamond in Round Rock TX
Come on out!

I’m in Lufkin; I’ll try to make it out

Do these teams operate within the FFA program.

Thanks, hope to see you there.

No, they do not. And it not part of the UIL or any other TEA program. It is a stand alone organization run by some of the best people.

But there are many teams from school FFA programs along with Ag, metal shop, culinary arts and simply schoolteachers with the passion of BBQ and supporting the kids who want to compete.
Proteins are provided by the regional host school at 6:00am on comp day by prior number draw.
The teams must provide the other food products for the comp.
For proteins the heat source must be charcoal or wood. No pellet cookers. No propane cookers.
Once the fire is lit, the kids must maintain it without any controllers, fan assist, or propane.
I must say I've have truly enjoyed doing this the past couple of years.
If interested reach out to your local high school and see if they would like to sign up and compete.
I believe there were 87 teams qualified for state last year.

Good to see this happening - - - God Bless and Continued Success

God Bless you Sir. I knew there was a HS circuit going, but don’t know much else about it. I wonder if there is a list of schools that are already participating that a guy could look at. Myself I am starting to gear up for rodeo cookoff here.

These schools have already qualified for state: (Look at page 1 and 2)

Looks like I won't be able to go to the comp in Lufkin.
My wife and I are just now getting over covid and will need to still isolate for 5 days once I test negative.
Good luck to all the teams competing!
