The BCHS Bass Fishing program has made some serious growth in numbers over the years. Most recently, they made some noise at the KHSAA State Tournament held May 8th/9th on Lake Barkley. Three teams (two student-athletes and captain consists of a team) represented Butler County out of 92 qualifying teams throughout the entire state.
Trenton Butler and Clayton Cardwell finished 18th overall in the tournament while Brock Henderson and Hollis Cardwell (24th) were just behind them in weight. Mason Kessler and Jax Pendley finished 52nd as the third team representing Butler County.

Not only was it the first time in school history to send multiple teams to state, many personal best bass were caught while the largest bag of fish in school history was broken, also. None of these fishermen are graduating and the future is bright on the water for these teams.
Coach Danny Cardwell is extremely proud of all his anglers and their accomplishments. Coach Cardwell expresses his gratitude to all the sponsors and boat captains, also. Without them, these anglers would not have this opportunity. Congratulations on the season!
