Darkness has set in at Flora! It's time for the Final Cast of the World Championship!
It's 7:50 local time and the cast has just rolled out. They'll have a 25 minute ride to their spot so we have a little time to get things around and ready for, what we hope will be an exciting cast to watch as it unfolds.
Interesting cast. Two Black & Tans up against two Walkers. Two males against two females.
NITECH Ead's Big Slick is a 5 year old male owned and handled by Darrel Eads of Pleasant Plains, Ohio. For those who know him, Darrel has been a mess all day but he's trying to hold it together one more time.
GRNITECH Bad Company Ridein Solo is a 5 year old Black & Tan male owned by Lucas Barkman, Tommy Vance and Blaine Vance of Davin, WV. Blaine is handling. He's been on a winning streak this year and Blaine is hoping he can continue the trend tonight.
GRNITECH Goose Creek Lil Shining Star is a 4 year old Treeing Walker female owned by Roger Pigg of Mt Vernon, KY. Joe Caudill is handling her, as he has since April. At 4 years old she is the youngest hound in the cast but, according to Joe, as seasoned and ready as any of them.
GRNITECH Esteppe's Bean Creek Pepper is a 6 year old Treeing Walker female owned by Lou and Ryan Esteppe of Potomac, IL. She is being handled by Lou's grandson Lane who, at 20 years of age, is probably the least experienced handler. Nonetheless, Lane seems to not be bothered by the pressure and has kept his composure well all day. He's excited about the opportunity to win this hunt and has a load of supporters here at the Clay County Fairgrounds rooting him on.
The weather is perfect. Cloudy and 66 right now. Great night for a coonhunt!
Stay tuned for the first report.
