CARLYLE, IL –  The West Frankfort HS bass duo of Cole Levanti and Brendan Johnson are in sixth place after day one of the IHSA bass tournament at Carlyle lake today.

They slayed them in the last hour after a weather delay.  They weighed in at 6 lb 6 oz, but had a half pound deduction for a dead fish.

The Benton Rangers are represented by Konner Bacon and Josh Eickleman.  They set at 29th, with a weigh in of 1 lb 6 oz.

From the GEC, the Crab Orchard Trojans have two teams in the tournament, as they finished in the top two in the Lake of Egypt Sectional.

The team of Chase Arnold and Bailey Whitehead is in 12th place with 3 lb. 9 oz. in the live well.  The solo team of Dyson Burfield did not catch a fish, as did several teams in the tourney today.

The tournament will resume tomorrow, weather permitting.
