Published

on

The tournament at Lake Lewisville on Nov. 13 turned out to be a great day for the Red River High School Bass Club in the west division as the team finished first overall.
The day started out at 37 degrees and thankfully warmed up as the sun rose in the sky. Nine teams from RRHSBC competed with their volunteer boat captains to fish a challenging public and pressured lake.
It took 35.69 pounds to win it to take high point club/school. They take the top 3 teams to compile pounds of fish to get the final tally and the club won it by two and half pounds.
Only half the field of anglers caught and weighed fish.
Red River currently has a team winning Angler of the Year out of 237 teams, by just nine points. The team of Richard Smith and Shane Chitwood have place second at Possum Kingdom, won Lake Texoma and were sixth at Lake Lewisville.
The team of Kooper Hansard/Miguel Olivares with boat captain Jayson Toerck, placed third overall with Olivares having the big bass of the tournament with the fish weighing 9.70 pounds and qualifying for Share-a-Lunker. The team’s total weight was 16.55 pounds.
The team of Richard Smith/Shane Chitwood boat captain John Ballard placed sixth with 12.43 pounds. The team of Colby Nichols/Case Curry and boat captain Justin Klump were thirty-second with 6.71 pounds.
The team consisting of Jase Corr/Jayden Corr with boat captain Jeremy Corr placed fifty-fourth with 4.41 pounds. The team of Leighton Baker/Carter Ritchie boat captain Terry Baker placed sixty-sixth with 3.29 pounds.

Hill upgraded to Nocona AD

Nocona Independent School District officials looked inward for a new athletic director/head football coach, selecting Jeff Hill for the position.
Hill, who served last year as Nocona football’s offensive coordinator and also led the softball program to the playoffs for the first time in a while as its head coach, was upgraded to the role.
This came on the heels of former Athletic Director Blake Crutsinger, who served in the role the last four years, resigned in May.
For Hill, the choice to apply for the position was a no brainer. His one year in Nocona had impressed upon him and his wife that it was the place they would like to be long term.
“I’m looking for a town to raise my kids in and Nocona has treated my family really well,” Hill said. “There are some really good people. The kids work hard. Everything I am looking for in a hometown is right here in Nocona and I want to try and make it as best as it can be, especially through athletics.”
Before Nocona, Hill served as the athletic director at S&S Consolidated while also spending time at Hebron and Whitewright in his coaching career.
Hill expresses great respect for the departing Crutsinger and besides changing a few small things in how he personally wants to do things, he is not trying to come in with a sweeping restructuring of the whole athletic department.
The program had five of its six team sports make the playoffs, with volleyball playing in the regional final and the girl’s basketball team winning the state championship.
That along with two athletes competing at the state championship in cross country and track with one earning a gold medal, it was one of the more successful school years in athletic program history.
“Coach Crutsinger was awesome and did a great job so honestly just little tweaks, a little bit of structure and cohesion amongst the coaching staff between boys and girls,” Hill said. “I hope to keep the winning tradition going overall in the athletic department.”
