Clayton and Dillon's 8th place finish at regionals on Lake Cumberland qualified them to fish their 4th consecutive KHSAA State Championship. This was their last high school tournament together and they have had quite a run.
Regionals was their 10th high school tournament on Lake Cumberland over the past 4 years. They have weighed in a limit in 8 of those events and finished in the top 10 on four occasions. Most impressive is their consistency in the KHSAA Regional Tournament where they have qualified for State 4 consecutive years, fishing out of ramps at each end of the lake twice. At the KHSAA State Championship on Kentucky Lake, the senior duo brought to the scales a a two day total of 10 fish weighing 19 lbs 11 oz. This landed them in 17th place, their 3rd consecutive top 20 finish in this tournament. They are one of the few high school duos to make it to 4 consecutive KHSAA State Championships, and they are the only team ever with three consecutive top 20 finishes. They, along with Jake Seigle and Max Sullivan, graduate as the founding class of Spencer County High School's bass fishing team.
