    Well, we took the kids down to Lake Argyle for the sectional tournament. First off ride there and spending the night in a hotel with 6 high school kids was a eye opener. Friday the 23rd was the tournament. It was a horrible day, they got 2 inches of rain and 25mph winds all day. I am very proud of the kids, on that kinda day they never gave up. Fishing was slow. We started at 8am and at 1130 we didn’t have a fish. Between 1130 and 300pm we had 5 keepers and finished 5th out of 20. Riverdale had 2 boats in the tournament and the second boat finished 7th. We didn’t qualify for state but we had a great time. And I think most important we introduced a group of kids to the sport, that may have never had the chance. I hope the kids will learn to enjoy the outdoors and now have a outlet that will keep them out of trouble. I know the other coach and myself are already looking forward to next year. GOOD JOB RAMS

    Nice job guys. Did anyone notify the local papers about this. It could generate some very good publicity for the boys and the High Schools in the area that also participate. Who knows, you might get some local tackle shops to help sponsor the kids.
