6 May 2020 by Mark Choquette Jr

May 2020 – Yesterday B.A.S.S. annoucened their 12 finalists for the Bassmaster High School All-American award. Headland was able to pick up it’s first one in Senior Aaron Cherry.

“Cherry, a senior at Headland High School, has secured five wins this tournament season, including Bassmaster High School Classic Champion, as well as three Top 5 finishes and six Top 20 finishes in high school events. Cherry has earned the angler of the year title in the East Alabama High School Bass Trail twice and has ranked in the Top 5 in the Alabama B.A.S.S. Nation Angler of the Year standings three times in the last four years. Cherry also fishes in adult tournaments and ranked in the Top 20 in the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship this tournament season, as well as winning the Alabama B.A.S.S. Nation State Championship in 2018 as a co-angler.

Cherry dedicates much of his time to teaching others about fishing and introducing them to the sport. He has helped raise over $50,000 for the Headland Bass Team over the duration of his six years as a member and has volunteered 200 hours with Wired Ministries.

“Aaron is not only a great fisherman, as the results show, he is a great man,” said Chris Grandstaff, head coach of the Headland Bass Team. “Aaron has always looked out for everyone. When he joined the Headland Bass Team, he soaked up all the knowledge he could from everyone about bass fishing. Aaron did this not only to help him become a better fisherman, but to also show and pass the knowledge he has obtained to others. He has taken so many people fishing and helped them learn and love the sport of bass fishing as much as he does.”
