The Barbecue Team Traveled to San Antonio to compete in the inaugural year of the Jr. Pitmaster competition. Upon arrival Mr. Cortez and his team learned that they had raised $34,000 in addition to the $20,000 scholarships which sweetened the pot and provided additional motivation. Students Jose and Alexis cooked the best turn ins that they have ever cooked and wound up with 2^nd Place Ribs and 4^th Place Brisket which secured a 3^rd Place Overall Win. The team took home $2750 in premium money which will offset the cost competing for the remainder of the year.
