WVC Bass Warriors Hold Fundraiser to Continue Success
The WVC Bass Warriors are coming off their best season since the group’s inception. They finished this season ranked 14th in the country and ranked #1 among Junior Colleges in the nation. That 14th national ranking is among all divisions, by the way. There were 5 graduates from the Bass Warrior team this spring. Drew Gill, who is headed to Campbellsville University to continue his education and fishing career this fall, is one of the top anglers to come through WVC. Drew finished his freshman year ranked 16th in the country. By the end of his sophomore year he and Jonah Potts were ranked 8th in the country for “Team of the Year” (out of more than 400 teams in the Strike King Bassmaster Series). He is one of the 5 recent WVC graduates, earning a Degree of Associate in Science. On Wednesday, July 6th, the Bass Warriors hosted an event called “Walk-Up Wednesday” in Mount Carmel. The event is located in Merchant’s Park. The group provided BBQ and porkburgers to all diners along with lemon-shake-ups and several other side options. Dr. Todd Gill, the coach of the team, put some perspective on the event as follows: “We have a big group this year and will need lots and lots of gas money to fund our travels.” Unfortunately
