John Black first learned about the benefits of a high school fishing team while helping his niece on her team at a Mobile school. With a son in middle school, Black decided to approach BCHS Principal Craig Smith about helping to form a team here.
​
Smith connected him with BCHS teacher David Garrett, who signed on as the team sponsor. Black serves as the team coach, top fundraiser and team motivator. As soon as they got the go-ahead, Black and the team members hit the ground running.
A fishing team consists of two student fishermen and an adult boat captain. In its first year, BCHS had just three teams and has now grown to included 14 members divided into seven 2-man teams.- By Tina Covington http://blog.al.com/press-releases/2017/09/bchs_fishing_team_hooked_on_th.html
