About this Tournament

This tournament was created to offer the youths of Cleburne County and all surrounding counties (White, Independence, Van Buren, Stone, Faulkner) with an opportunity to compete in a bass tournament held on Greers Ferry lake.  This tournament is a scholarship program that awards winnings to assist young men and women with the cost of attending higher education institutions.

The trophy for this championship is named after an individual who devoted much of his time to not only the sport of fishing, but also to youth programs in this community.  The "Willie Stone Cup" will serve this tournament not only as a first place prize, but also as a future traditional symbol that stands for integrity, sportsmanship, teamwork, and youth achievement.
