The Pride, Showtime feeds Southland Open 3-day is now a part of history. We had some great hounds in attendance and some that I feel will go down as legends in our sport battle it out. When the results were tallied Ray's Virginia C. came out on top. Congrats to Ray Casteen on his new Champion. I think this is his first one since back in the 90's. Also congats to Brett Bass on making his first Dual Champion with Brim's Smooth, Bucket for putting 3 in the top 10 and placing Calvery again and everyone else who placed. Thanks to Mike Carr with Pride and Randy McGovern with Showtime for their donations and sponsorship. These guys support us and our sport! Thanks to our judges,
Tommy McLamb (Master of Hounds), Chris Heath, Terry Smith, Jay Childs, Brandon McKeithan, Chris Gainey, Jay Gainey, Scott Harvey, Jason Littles, Joel Blackmon, Stephen Bullard, Barry & Dalton Michael, Joey Fowler (Bench Show Judge) and Amy McGraw on the keyboards.
