Freeland High School’s 2nd season fishing in Michigan BASS Nation High School tournaments was very successful. The Freeland Team's growth shows in the Angler Of The Year standings. AOY is an accumulation of points earned based on how a team finishes each of the 4 team trails throughout regular season. 2020 AOY results are based on a field of 200 anglers. Michigan’s top 3 anglers earned at spot in Nationals.
Our results:
• Brayden Ruckman & Nate Helmreich 5th place
• Jack Sprague & Cole Jimkoski tied for 6th
• Dalton Polega & Luke East 51st
When you take a look at last season you can see how our teams improved.
Ruckman & Helmreich: Two years in a row 5th in AOY. Runner up for Nationals in 2019.
Sprague & Jimkoski: 34th in 2019 to 6th in 2020.
Polega & East: Jumped from 75th to 51st in 2020.
Our angler's dedication, passion, and hard work continues to show in their results. All three teams qualified for State Championship/National Qualifier on Sept. 5-6. Congratulations and good luck!
One of the many challenges Freeland Schools has going into the start of school is the distribution of tech devices to our 2-12 "in-person" students and our Y5-12 "virtual" students. To make this happen, we are looking for volunteers (a great way for students to get service hours) to help us set up for our distribution. Work will be at Freeland Elementary School any time Monday, Aug. 17 - Thursday, Aug. 20 between 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. Those interested can contact Kelly Baker at bakerk@freelandschools.net for more information.
To follow up on a previous update, all produce box distribution is done. Per the USDA, there are not contracts/funding in place to continue the program. We are glad to have been able to serve the community and beyond, while we could.
We continue on with our commitment to the Freeland Community and beyond! Stop by Freeland Elementary today from 11-2, for free breakfast and lunch pick up. These meals are for anyone 18 and under, no matter where you live. Our volunteers and staff would love to see you today!
The Freeland High School Bass Team finished the 2020 regular season on Lake St Clair. Michigan BASS Nation had 61 high school teams competing from across the state. Our three teams never cease to amaze! They have a hard work ethic and a passion for the sport of fishing.
Jack Sprague & Cole Jimkoski finished 9th w/ 18.31 lbs
Brayden Ruckman & Nate Helmreich took 18th w/ 16.94 lbs
Dalton Polega & Luke East were 30th w/ 13.12
None of this would be possible with out the great support we receive. Thank you to not only our friends, family and boat captains but also to our sponsors -
