A pair of anglers from Lafayette High School can compete in the KHSAA state bass fishing tournament May 13-14 on Kentucky Lake near Calvert City. Riley Cobb and Landon Orr tied for fourth place among the 16 boats qualifying April 23 out of Region 2. Fishing on Lake Cumberland out of Halcomb’s Landing in Jamestown, Landon and Riley landed five bass weighing in at a total of 13 pounds 12 ounces. Students from Bryan Station, Henry Clay, and Tates Creek also competed.
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association endorsed co-ed bass fishing as a sports activity three years ago, along with archery and competitive cheer. KHSAA added bowling the previous year.
