Finishing not far behind the Vandagriff brothers were the team of Blake Delong and Asa Robertson who were in sixth place with 508 points, judged in each event by total weight and size of fish.The placing puts both teams in the BASS High School National Championship taking place in Paris, TN June 22-24. Only 20 teams from Tennessee qualified.“Not only one, but two, teams qualified out of hundreds of boats for the nationals,” said WCHS fishing team sponsor J.W. Holt.
