Four local athletes are preparing to head to Georgia and to the USA National Junior Olympic Championships in the sport of Judo.
JJ Gonzalez, Joshua Ramos, Garrett Bushman, and Ryan Ramos have all been training at the Odessa Boys and Girls Club to compete in the Junior Olympic Championships that start this weekend.
All four boys competed in the state Judo tournament each one of them placing in at least the top three.
This tournament can serve as a stepping-stone for these athletes to compete in the Olympics some day and look forward to facing the best martial arts athletes in the country.
