CCHS Fishing coach Gabe Keen said it had taken a lot of hard work for these three teams to advance to the national level, and that they would “represent” their county and school well.

“All of these kids have worked hard all year and dedicated many hours on and off the water to put themselves in a position to qualify for the National Championship. I am very proud of them, and it is an honor to have them representing our team and our school at the National level,” Keen said.
