The  bass team competed in their first competition on Saturday at Lake Tyler.

“Our goals for this season are to take the Team of the Year, have our teams advance to regionals, and Lindale to bring in another state championship,” bass club president Kimberlee Cook said.

Lindale had 13 teams compete in the Texas High School Bass Association East Division tournament. A total of 127 teams competed in the first event of the season.
