North Carolina Governors Cup
Masters GTP
(Jan. 23-24, 2016)
By: Angela Powell

The Governors Cup was held at Old 74 in Hallsboro, NC. We had great hunt even with the freezing temperatures and huge snow storm hitting the Northern part of the state and Virginia. We had a total of 62 entered into the hunt and 35 hounds crossing the finish line on Sunday. Thank you to all the judges for braving the weather! Also thank you to Chris (Bucket) Powell for stepping in at the last minute to be the Master of Hounds and Johnny and Brandon McKeithan for judging the Bench show. Congratulations to Brett Bass for winning with Brim's Sugar Britches and Ray Casteen for winning the Bench show with Fourty Creek Spot.
Ray Casteen and David Futch presented the Lyle Ray King Sportsmanship award to John V. Ganey for being a true sportsman and helping out in anyway, at Old 74.
Thank you again to all that participated and helped at this years Governors Cup. We hope to make it bigger and better next year
