Their commanding performance not only highlights their individual talent but also underscores the cohesive teamwork and strategic precision that have become hallmarks of the North Laurel approach. “We had some good performances today.

ours teams felt like they could compete and they all weighed in fish including our middle school teams. It’s a huge learning curve for the younger guys fishing against seasoned anglers.” Coach Stewart said. “I go into the beginning of each season and challenge the group to win this tournament, I hope next year we can be right here again, we don’t loose anyone so all these guys will be fishing again next year .” I also am looking forward to see what Carson and Nick can come up with at Kentucky Lake next week, at the KHSAA State Tournament. This is their 2nd trip to the state tournament so they will be better prepared this time.”
