Belton, Texas - A new club sport is coming to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. Even though the school鈥檚 new Bass Fishing Team won鈥檛 begin competing until the fall, the group has already reeled in a notable local recruit.
The team began with a fishing trip between 同城快约 students Carter Vaughn and Cabe Isbell, who would eventually become its president and vice president, respectively.
鈥淲e were fishing on Lake Belton one day and said 鈥楢ll these other small Baptist schools have bass fishing teams, why not 同城快约?鈥欌�� Vaughn said.
The two approached the university鈥檚 Student Government Association, which approved the creation of the club. Once it was official, the group began recruiting members. To date, eight students have committed to take part in competitions beginning this fall.
As they have worked to get the team organized and plan its first season, Vaughn and Isbell have been helped by two surprising sources of advice, a new recruit and a future competitor.
