09 Black & Tan Championship

Black and Tan Championship:

Ten hounds made it to the final on a cold bad night with the coon not moving very well. Clinton club did a very good job with the event with good food, comfortable clubhouse and good guides. Jackie Coomer and Ronnie Bone handled the judge and guide duties on the late round where they treed one on the outside and ran one in the ground. Chris Roughton’s Little Blackie had 200 plus on the one on the outside and could be heard in the ground fighting another coon. The cast had to call time to try to get her out of the hole and it about ten minutes over the hour and she had to be scratched.
The first round drew out as follows:
