A La Pryor senior didn’t just win state — he broke a record and lifted more than 1,600 pounds to do it.
LA PRYOR, Texas — Sound the alarm, Bulldog Nation — La Pryor has a state champion.
Senior Moises Lopez is bringing home the gold after winning the Texas High School Powerlifting Association state title in the 181-pound weight class.
And he didn’t just win, he made history.
Lopez broke the state squat record, lifting an incredible 655 pounds as part of a dominant performance that totaled 1,630 pounds across all three lifts.

Now, he’s on top of the podium.
The school is celebrating the milestone moment, calling it a proud achievement for the entire Bulldog community.
And for Lopez, it’s a finish worthy of a state champion.
