in an all-expense-paid competition at a private lake owned by legendary Ranger
Boats Pro Jimmy Houston on September 21st, made possible by their participation

awarded to the winning team.

Tennessee Tech University, claimed the highest place of finish for a Ranger Cup
University-qualified team at the BoatUS Collegiate
Bass Fishing Championship which is the season ending event of the Cabela's
