 Coach Tyree: "Being founding members of our fledgling team Jayden and Blake helped to define it. The Butler County Bass Team could not have been in better hands. Being part of Jayden and Blake's high school fishing experience has been an honor and privilege. I'm confident these fine young men will positively influence everyone they encounter in the future."

 Coach Gibbs: "It's been a pleasure coaching these young men this past year and fishing with them for the past three years. They have both come far and improved tremendously since the start of their angler journey. I hope they keep excelling on the water, and I may see them in an open tournament someday. I wish them the best of luck in the future.
