SYLVAN GROVE — The Bass Federation and FLW, the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, have partnered to present the 2014 Kansas State High School Fishing Championship. The tournament is scheduled for July 12 on Wilson Lake in Sylvan Grove and is open to any high school fishing team in Kansas.

The two-person team event is for students in grades nine to 12. Registration for anglers and their coach, who will provide the boat they compete in, is online at HighSchoolFishing.org. Takeoff will be at 6:15 a.m., and weigh-in will be at 3 p.m.

For more information about the event, contact the TBF National Youth Director Mark Gintert at (580) 716-4251 or (330) 993-0014.

The top 10 percent from each TBF/FLW state championship field will advance to a conference championship along with the top three teams from each of the six 2014 High School Fishing Opens that coincide with the 2014 Walmart FLW Tour. The top 10 percent of each conference championship field will then advance to the High School Fishing National Championship, coinciding with the TBF National Championship and an FLW Tour stop in the spring of 2015.

The national champions will each receive a $5,000 college scholarship to the school of their choice.
