KILLEEN, Texas — Killeen stepped up and showed out for the 20th annual Killeen MLK Step-up Fest 2022 High School Step Show with one team in particular that made an explosive performance.
Hosted at the Killeen Civic and Conference Center last Saturday, the Dallas step team, Xplosive Grenades, took home the title as the MLK Step-Up Fest 22 Champions.
The group competed against various teams, beating Theta Nu Sigma (second place winners) and Copperas Cove (third place winners).
Xplosive Grenades Captain, Jaylon Hapmton, told 6 News Digital this won't be the last "Xplosive" performance that we'll see.
"My team did well at the MLK Step Up Fest, although we had a few things that could have been better, we still produced a nice clean and classy performance," Hapmton said. "People should look forward to more entertainment, harder steps, & class from Xplosive Grenades that will be Oscar worthy."
The director of Xplosive Grenades, Randy Baggett, was also very proud of his team's win.
"This was our first step show of the season and as their Director I am simply proud of the Hard work, Unity, & Dedication that they exude. When it comes to my Organization: Xplosive Grenades, you should expect the unexpected," Baggette said.
