WHAT A FEAT!
Saturday our anglers pulled off a a fifth place finish as a team at the Lake Palestine tournament with a number fishing only part of the day. Those youngsters had to also participate in our Arp Tiger Pride Marching Bands's region competition that afternoon in Longview where they wound up doing great as well. Not to mention this was after some of them played, performed, or cheered in our homecoming football game the night before.
Individually, how about senior AB Martin who had to fish solo & reeled in a 4th place finish. Senior Madelyne Eaton & junior David Domm took home a top ten finish for the second straight tournament as did AB. Check out the pics to see some of their catches.
Up next, Lake Bob Sandlin on Nov. 16.
