A pair of anglers from Lafayette High School will advance to the KHSAA state bass fishing tournament April 26-27 at Kentucky Lake near Hardin. Riley Cobb and Ben Marshall placed 11th among the 13 boats qualifying out of Region 2. Fishing April 7 at Taylorsville Lake near Mt. Eden, they landed one bass that weighed in at 2 pounds 1 ounce. Other students from Lafayette and Tates Creek High School also competed.
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association this year endorsed co-ed bass fishing as a sports activity, along with archery and competitive cheer. KHSAA added bowling last year.
