David JacksonKIMBALL, Tenn. – Kimball is set to host two high school fishing tournaments this fall, but city leaders said they’d like to see some local talent in those competitions in the future.
The Kimball Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously on Thursday to spend $3,000 to host the Bass Federation’s regional high school tournament Sept. 28.
The city is hosting the TBF’s state high school championship Sept. 26 and 27, too.
The regional tournament will include 45 teams from seven Southeastern states.
“That will be three people in the boat, including two fishermen and one adult to drive the boat,” Mayor David Jackson said. “So, you’re looking at about 135 people right there [coming to Kimball].”
