Another podium finish added to the excitement for Nova Uniao last weekend. The Houston open took place and the NU team showed that the plans of getting back on the podium at the Worlds are serious. Placing third, just a few medals behind second, the group had a lot to show for in all the divisions.
The standouts of the tournament were Fernando Salas, Cooper Cardinale, Jared Lorenz, Kaue Damasceno, and Ricardo Bastos. Salas and Cardinale both won at blue/adult in light and middle respectively, while Lorenz took home the gold in the purple/adult middle category. At brown/adult, Damasceno finished on top of the podium in the super heavy and open divisions. And last, but certainly not least, Bastos took third in the adult/black ultra heavy division and then made a comeback to win the open weight.
Winners from Bastos BJJ Midland include were Roberto Ramirez, Adrian Castillo, Gabe Hernandez, and Brad Barnes
