“Tristan has worked hard his four years as a member of the Marshall County bass fishing team”, Marshall County Head Coach Nicholas Binns said. “He won the highest award in high school bass fishing, a State Championship, representing Marshall County and the Marshall County anglers.”
Coach Binns said in comments at the signing, that Tristan is the first from the Marshall County Bass Fishing team to receive a college scholarship in the sport. Binns said he hopes it is the first of many to come and added that a lot of Tristan’s and the team’s success comes from the support of the fishing community that Marshall County is fortunate to have.
Tristan credits many for developing his talent and his skills for bass fishing, including his parents Chad Barrett and Tricia Freeland and the bass fishing community of Marshall County.
