COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Really enjoyed the week with these two boys. I told the boys before we came down to just use this tournament as a learning experience with them being in middle school I didn’t anticipate them beating half the field but that’s exactly what they did. I’m looking forward to seeing these two boys grow and learn a sport that they can use the rest of their lives.”
“… I want to thank Lawrence County for letting us fish and supporting the Bass fishing team.”
“… The season was short and we didn’t get to fundraise this year or fish many events due to Covid but we are looking forward to getting started next year.”
