Madill FFA attends OYE

Madill FFA started OYE with a bang. They had eight students take their Ag Mechanics projects to Oklahoma City to be judged against projects from across the state. This was the 4th year for the OYE Ag Mechanics project show, but the first time Madill FFA has competed. The results are as follows: Luz Gomez 48” Santa Maria Grill 1st in class 10: fire pits and grills 2nd in division There were over 20 other entries in this incredibly competitive class. In division, she competed against all trailer-mounted cookers and stationary offset smokers.

River Shaw 20’ 7k Car Hauler 1st in Class 17: Multi Axle bumper pull utility trailer.

4th in division To be the 4th out trailer at OYE is no small feat. After winning his class, he competed against all other trailers, including goosenecks, livestock trailers, and a semi-trailer.

Bridger Lott and Eli French 4 bin high capacity deer feeder 2nd in class 13: Wildlife feeders and waterers 3rd in division This was a super competitive division, as well. While they didn’t win their class, they were able to grab 3rd in the division and win a brand new Dewalt drill.
