"A Close TNCBA Point Race"

We are only 10 days away from our regular season finale on South Holston Lake!

Boone proved to be a tough day for some of our top contenders in the Angler of the Year and the Team of the Year standings, but we also saw anglers like Mike and Evan Vandyke make sure in the points.

The TNCBA will be wrapping up their battle for 2019 TOY at Holston on November 9th. The top three teams are as follows:

1. Mark Rice / Steve Legg - 350 pts.

2. Cody Dison / Keith Dison - 344 pts.

3. Mike Vandye / Evan Vandyke - 335 pts.

While the father son duo of Mike and Evan Vandyke moved up to third after Boone, mathematically it is a two team race for TOY. It is a must win scenario for the team of Dison and Dison, but even with a win they would need the team of Mark Rice and Steve Legg to finish 8th or worse take the title for team of the year.

2019 Angler of the Year is a different story. After the regular season concludes, anglers will have to fish the double points paying TNCBA Classic to crown the 2019 TNCBA Angler of the Year. It is currently a three man race atop the standings with:

1. Mark Rice - 349 pts.

2. Steve Legg - 347 pts.

3. Keith Dison - 343 pts.

But, there is also a great battle to see who will round out the TNCBA Top 6:

4. Mike Vandyke - 335 pts.

5. Fred Rutherford - 332 pts.

6. Wiley Gobble - 330 pts.

7. Wes Meade - 329 pts.

8. Lynn Feagins - 328 pts.

9. Keith Lester - 326 pts.

10. Evan Vandyke - 319 pts.

With the TNCBA Class scoring individual weights, there are a lot of scenarios that could play out for the top six. We will take a closer look at those scenarios in the coming weeks leading up to the TNCBA Classic.
