Members of the Montgomery County High School Bass Fishing Team are competing this week on Lake Cumberland in an attempts to qualify for the Bassmasters High School National Championship that will be held in August on Kentucky Lake.
Senior Brady McGuire and junior MacKenzie Tabor will also compete later this month in the Student Angler Federation National Championship at Pickwick Lake in Alabama after qualifying for that event earlier this year.
They qualified for that event on Lake Cumberland and they’ll be hoping that knowledge and past success on the lake will bring them success this week as they try to qualify for the Bassmasters.
Junior Kyle Workman and sophomore Pruitt Lansdale will also compete this week on Lake Cumberland along with the team of junior Riley Lawson and eighth grader Hunter Townsend.
“This is a great opportunity for them to get additional experience,” said Coach John Vice. “The opportunity to fish on different lakes along with going back to again challenge some of the great fishing lakes where they’ll likely be competing in the future is a great opportunity for them.”
Although there were other teams in addition to the duo of McGuire and Tabor that qualified for The Student Angler Federation National Championship in Alabama, Vice said the others squads would not compete there for a variety of reasons. Some members of the bass fishing team also compete in other sports.
The MCHS team will 23 members from last year’s squad for the 2020 season.
