better than High School basketball? fishing of course
I’d take fishing over basketball any day. At least in Illinois the kids will have a choice as fishing is now a HS sport.
Illinois will become the first state to have a statewide bass fishing tournament at the high school level.
Where was this when I was staring at creeks from my school windows?
On Monday, the Illinois High School Board of Directors approved a recommendation from executive director Marty Hickman to add the bass fishing tournament ``as an IHSA activity beginning in the spring of 2009, provided that adequate sponsorships are secured in advance for the tournament.’’
From many discussions I’ve had in the months since I wrote the original column in the Sept. 16 Sun-Times, I’ve been amazed at the level of support from the business end of fishing, the club level (which will be central to making it work), the teachers and other volunteers, and the high school kids.
I’ll cast to that!
