Congratulations to Cody Sieben (11-14 age group) and Austin Whitehurst (15-18 age group) for their victories in the 2007 MFBA Junior State Championship which was held on 6/14 on Lake Koronis. Each age group had 11 anglers competing in it and there was some very tough competition.
All of the kids received a big bag of goodies donated from the TBF, National Guard, Rapala, Fuji Film and Berkley. At registration they were treated to a pizza dinner which was sponsored by Ranger Boats. After weigh-in the kids, their families and all the volunteers were treated to a picnic lunch.
Cody and Austin will now move on to the 2007 National Guard Junior World Championship which will be held in early August on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas in conjunction with the 2007 Forrest Wood Cup. They will be paired up with anglers from different states and different age groups, as well as an FLW Tour pro.
