ROANOKE, W. Va. – The second semifinals match at the General Tire Team Series Costa Qualifier Presented by Toyota was a tight one, with all three teams finishing within one good catch of one another. In the end, it was team Star brite who ended up on top and earned a trip to the Bass Pro Shops Team Series Championship.
Team Star brite’s Kevin VanDam, David Walker and Kelly Jordon caught eight bass totaling 13-6 to win by a 1-4 margin over team Builders FirstSource (Fletcher Shryock, Andy Morgan and James Watson). Close behind them, and just below the cut line, was team Knighten Industries (John Murray, Brent Ehrler and Brett Hite) with eight bass weighing 10-7.
Up next, team Builders FirstSource will face team Smokey Mountain Herbal Snuff & Pouches in the Wild Card round with a berth to the championship up for grabs.
