Arkansas bass fishermen looking for something a little different in their next boat should take a look at the custom-built Boll Weevil bass boat currently being raffled by the University of Arkansas at Monticello. The 15-foot boat was built by Team Ward for War Eagle Boats of Monticello and donated to UAM to help raise money for the university’s Campaign for Athletics. UAM is conducting a raffle for the boat with the winner to be announced at halftime of the UAM-Delta State football game on November 10. Raffle tickets are $10 each and may be purchased by contacting the Department of Athletics at (870) 460-1058. Raffle participants must be 18 or over.
The 15-foot Kelly green boat includes both Boll Weevil and university logos. The inside bottom of the boat is lined to look like a football field. “It’s definitely one of a kind,” said Hugh Heflin, chairman of the Campaign for Athletics. “We’re extremely grateful to War Eagle Boats for their generosity and for their willingness to help raise funds for our athletic programs.” Clay Brown To Lead Southern Association Of College Student Affairs
