The LCM Bass Team has three teams that have qualified for the National Bassmaster High School Tournament on Kentucky Lake August 8-10. Not bad when you consider there are only twelve spots available for Nationals in our area between the SETX HS Fishing Tournaments and the DETX Tournaments.
There’s a chance this weekend the Bears could add two more teams as they compete in the BASS Nation HS State Championship this weekend on Lake Sam Rayburn out of Jackson Hill Marina.
The teams that have qualified are Justin James/Gavin Cooper with captain Joel James, Spencer Brister/Aiden Lofton with captain Tony Brister or Reagan Lofton, Garrison Byerly/ Will Henson with captain Nathan Byerly or Scott Henson.
This is the second year LCM has taken at least 3 teams to Nationals. Last year Dakota Posey & Chance Dillon finished 15th overall. Posey is working with his partner this year, Layne Pevey, at landing one of those spots to Nationals.
LCM Sponsor Nellie Miller said some 700 local HS teams have competed in the SETX and DETX Tournaments this season.
