Dade County High School’s Coed Varsity Bass Fishing team made waves this season — and none bigger than the performance of standout anglers River McBryar and Jake Harris, who were officially named Anglers of the Year at the Northwest Georgia High School Anglers Association’s end-of-season banquet on Thursday.
The talented pair clinched the top honor by finishing 1st place out of 58 total teams, representing 13 schools from across the region. Their consistent performances throughout the season earned them the highest cumulative score, showcasing not only their skill but also their dedication to the sport.
Held annually, the banquet recognizes outstanding achievement in high school bass fishing, a growing competitive sport that blends strategy, teamwork, and a deep respect for the outdoors. This year’s event celebrated a season of strong competition and camaraderie among young anglers.
The Northwest Georgia High School Anglers Association extended congratulations to all participants, praising the sportsmanship and effort of every student who competed.
As the season concludes, Dade County High’s bass fishing program can take pride in its growing success — and look forward to another year of casting, competing, and conquering.
