The Grayson County High School bass fishing team opened its regular season on Saturday with an individual win on Nolin Lake.

River Blanton and Braeden Sadler finished in first place overall with a combined weight of 12.97. Sadler also pulled in the biggest fish of the day at just over four pounds.

The Cougars were joined on the water by Edmonson County in the first competition of the summer season.

The boat of Hunter Williams/Ian Meredith finished second and Jake Coy/Cooper Richardson finished third.

The GCHS bass fishing team is still in its infancy but has been on a roll as of late. In April, they won the region championship, following that up with a strong performance at the state competition. 

Blanton and Sadler will return to the water for the SAF National Championship held from June 22-25 at McFarland Park in Florence, Alabama.
