Competing for national and state championships is the dream of many young athletes and those here in Winn Parish are no exception. Eleven young athletes from WMS Cross Country and one from WSHS traveled to Clinton, MS on November 23rd to participate in the USA Track and Field Southern Association Cross Country Championships. The races included athletes from Louisiana and Mississippi and a runner had to finish in the top 10 in his or her division to qualify for nationals.

“Fishers of Men” is a nonprofit, nondenominational ministry whose mission is to introduce Jesus to fishermen and their families and to invite them into a relationship with Him, through bass fishing tournaments. What began in 1998 as a small four division tournament trail with a total of 21 events has now grown into 44 team tournament divisions combined for over 300 tournament events. Every evening before the tournament, there is a wonderful meal prepared for all those participating and their families. A Christian speaker shares an important message for each of them. National sponsors have included Strike King, Skeeter Boats, and Yamaha, among others.
