Sandbar Smokehouse BBQ Team Makes Sizzling Statement in Midland!

This past weekend, our Sandbar Smokehouse School BBQ Team fired up the pits at the Champions BBQ Alliance–sanctioned “Cooking for Calboy” event in Midland — and against 36 teams of seasoned adult pitmasters, our students delivered their best finish yet!

Competing shoulder-to-shoulder with veteran champions, these young pitmasters proved that passion, precision, and teamwork can hang with the very best. Their results were nothing short of impressive:

🍗 KidsQ Chicken Wings
• 7th Place — Reagan Hillger
• 5th Place — Aubrey Halfmann
• 4th Place — Sophie Sullivan

🌶️ Jackpot Salsa
• 3rd Place — Aubrey Halfmann

🍰 Jackpot Dessert
• 2nd Place — Sophie Sullivan

🔥 Main Meats
• Chicken — 3rd Place: Trevor Garcia
• Brisket — 10th Place: Grady Ivins
• Ribs — 9th Place: Sophie Sullivan

🏆 OVERALL TEAM: 5th PLACE!
And get this — only 6.3 points separated the top five teams overall!

In just a few short months, Sandbar Smokehouse has climbed the BBQ ladder at lightning speed, earning the respect of seasoned champions and showing what young talent can achieve with dedication and heart.

We couldn’t be prouder of these students, their grit, and their smokin’ teamwork. The future of BBQ is bright
