Brazosport High School's BBQ team, Anchor & Flame, made a spectacular debut at their first competition on Saturday, October 19, securing the coveted overall Grand Champion title. The team showcased their culinary skills and teamwork, earning them multiple awards.
In addition to being named Regional Grand Champion, Anchor & Flame took home the top prize for GRAND Steak while earning Reserve titles for both Chili and Ribs. They placed 4th in Chicken and Grilled Cheese, further showcasing their versatility and talent in the BBQ arena.
The team's success has earned them a spot at the upcoming State Championship, set to take place on May 3 in Burnet. Congratulations to Gwendolyn Whistler, Klarissa Ledezma, Leland Matthews, Adrian Garcia and Izaeh Chabra.
This achievement would not have been possible without the invaluable support and sponsorship from Coach Mike Fojtik, Chef Jay Collins, Chef Kristian Mahalitz, Brock Group, The Vandergrift Family, and Exporter Apparel. Their guidance and resources have helped propel Anchor & Flame to new heights in the competitive BBQ landscape.
As they prepare for the State Championship, the team is eager to continue building on their success and representing Brazosport High School with pride. Stay tuned for more updates on their journey!
