Hello and thank you for your consideration to sponsor or donate to the

2026 White Oak ISD Strike King National Bassmaster Team of Brayden Elliott and Kalen Chandler. We are both juniors at White Oak High School and are currently competing in the Texas High School Bass Association East Division. Our teams from White Oak are doing very well and are on track to qualify for the regional tournament. We are extremely excited to announce, for the first time, that a high school team from White Oak ISD will participate in the Strike King High School National Bassmaster Series. This is a huge opportunity for our team and our school. We are working very hard to earn scholarships to fish at the college level following our graduation in 2027. To achieve this goal, we are doing everything possible to build our resumes to present to college programs that include universities such as Texas A&M, Dallas Baptist University, East Texas Baptist University, The University of Alabama, Auburn University, and many more.

This is where we need your help. The tournament schedule has 4 scheduled stops. They begin in January at the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes in Florida. We will also travel to Sam Rayburn in Texas, Santee Cooper in South Carolina, and Robert S. Kerr Reservoir in Oklahoma. As you can imagine, there is a substantial cost associated with our participation in this series. Our estimated cost to cover fuel, housing, entry fees, meals, and other tournament needs is expected to exceed $5,000. Any help you could provide to offset this cost is greatly appreciated.

Sponsorships are available and donations are welcome. Please help us bring home the first Strike King National Bassmaster High School Championship and pursue our goal to earn scholarships to fish at the collegiate level.
