Nixon High School FFA students Alyssa Ramos, Karina Ramos, Andrea Garcia, Dayanara Rivera, and Augustin Luna have been testing their barbecue cooking skills this school year while participating in the Texas High School BBQ Inc. Competitions. The NHS FFA students recently competed with teams from across South Texas at the High School BBQ Competition in Tilden, Texas, at McMullen County High School where they qualified for the Barbecue State Finals Competition May 5th and 6th at Dell Diamond Field in Round Rock.
The Nixon High School FFA barbecue quintet competed against 23 teams in four categories including: dessert, beans, pork ribs, and the king of Texas barbecue- beef brisket. Each category requires different cooking skills; Dessert requires an understanding of the chemistry of baking, beans need a knowledge of flavor and seasoning, and brisket asks for fire-management skills and patience. The dishes are rated on appearance, smell, and taste and winners are selected from the five categories. All cooking is done on site.
“
I'm extremely proud of the students. They did an amazing job,” said Rebeca Vela, Nixon High School Agriculture Science Teacher and FFA Barbecue Sponsor. “They're all wonderful cooks. The food was great, and I sampled it all.”
Augustin Luna oversaw the fire and prepared the smoked pork spareribs which finished in fifth place. Teammate Andrea Garcia tired her hand at the dessert category and took sixth place with her Pineapple Upside-down Cake. Dayanara Rivera was in charge of the beans which placed 14th, while Karina Ramos competed in the brisket category and Alyssa Ramos cooked the chicken. The students all said, “It was a team effort!”
According to Luna, the ladies on the team are the boss and he just takes the orders. “It was a lot of running around, but we had fun,” said Luna.
This is the first year the Nixon High FFA has competed on its own at the barbecue competitions. The last several years the Nixon High School FFA and Culinary Programs joined forces to compete.
“So, the first few years we actually combined our FFA and Culinary students to go compete,” said Vela. “This is the first year that as the FFA we've competed on our own.”
“Making history for Nixon, it's a good sense of pride. We did it with our first try which is very cool,” said Austin Luna. “I think it's more of an honor to represent Nixon and more so the FAA because we're kind of in our corner. But I feel with this we make ourselves bigger and we make ourselves more known.”
The team is extremely excited about advancing to the Texas State Barbecue Competition.
“It's going be a good trip. We're excited cause we are all good friends. So, we are going to have fun together,” said Luna.
The team will continue to participate in upcoming stock shows competitions in preparation for the State Barbecue Competition in May.
“It's just an excitement because it's more of a team thing. We are like a family so, when one of us wins, we all win,” said Luna. “So, making it to state is a big celebration for all of us.”
According to Vela, the students are extremely driven. “All of them are involved in the FFA as they show livestock. Anything we need done here they, are the go-to students to do it for us. So, they are some of our most motivated students.”
At the State High School BBQ Competition, the students will have a chance to compete for scholarship money to continue their food educations. The BBQ competitions engage students and enhances leadership skills, work ethic, and values.
Congratulations to the Nixon High School Film Club for being the State Champion Runner-Up!!!! Nixon HS’s “En Camino” is also the Nobility Prize winner for the 5A conference.
