NIXA — With the speakers blaring Meek Mill throughout the weight room on a recent summer morning, the "freak show" was about to begin.
The majority of the Nixa Eagles football team stopped what they were doing and made their way over to the power rack in the corner of the room. Their sophomore teammate was about to, once again, wow everyone with the weight he was about to bench.
Jackson Cantwell, 15, had just finished his warm-ups while repping out 225 pounds like it was nothing and then moving up to 315 and 365 — numbers that would be great one-rep maxes for anyone else in the room.
