MADISON CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL WINS KENTUCKY STATE HIGH SCHOOL FISHING CHAMPIONSHIP ON LAKE CUMBERLAND
MONTICELLO, Ky. (April 14, 2015) – The Madison Central High School team of Logan and Ethan Gabbard brought a five-bass limit to the scale Saturday weighing 18 pounds, 3 ounces to win the 2015 Kentucky State High School Fishing Championship on Lake Cumberland. The win earned the team the title of state champions and qualified the team to compete in a High School Fishing conference championship on Lake Lanier in September.
“We caught most of our fish on a combination of shaky-head rigs and crankbaits today” stated Logan, a senior who is the elder statesman of the brother duo. “We made a 30 minute run toward the dam first thing this morning trying to find a little cleaner water”

The top eight teams to advance to the conference championship were:
  1st:        Madison Central High School – Logan Gabbard and Ethan Gabbard, five bass, 18-3
  2nd:      South Laurel High School – Logan Martin and Kyler Petrey, five bass, 14-6
  3rd:       Corbin High School – Marcus Davis and Dalton Wooten, four bass, 12-13
