In Class 1A, Knoxville's Lane Grice, Kellen McClay, Issac Nolan and Oscar Young combined for the 4x1 and 4x2 relays Friday.

BASS FISHING
Blue Bullets finish 18th at state
CARLYE — Knoxville High School's Titus Cramer and Gage Fox represented the Blue Bullets' bass fishing team at the state meet over the weekend, and the pair ended up in 18th place.
Cramer and Fox snagged two bass that weighed in at a combined weight of three pounds, three ounces. They did so Friday on Carlyle Lake, as Saturday's festivities were nixed by Mother Nature. Fishing on Friday ended early due to the weather conditions.
