Mayfield, Ratliff and Riggs sign to fish at CU By: Jordan Alves, Campbellsville University Sports Information CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. -- Campbellsville bass fishing has hit the water with a full head of steam this spring but recruiting never stops and coach Tommy Hall is already looking into the future. The first-year head coach has added depth to its roster for 2015-16 with three new signees this week. Signing days for Ben Riggs, Nick Ratliff and Justin Mayfield were held in the Powell Athletic Center on the campus of Campbellsville University on Monday and Wednesday. Riggs, from LaRue County High School and Ratliff, an Elizabethtown High School product, signed their letter of intents on Monday. Even though they come from two different schools, the duo comes in as a team. "It is very rare for two student-athletes to come in as a team," said Hall. "They have traveled together all of the country and are already comfortable working together. They not only fish together but they also duck hunt together and are more like best friends. That is something I will not break up.... It is hard to put an upperclassman together with a freshman because once the upperclassman graduates, the freshman has to find a new teammate. I want Nick and Ben to fish together all four years they are at Campbellsville. "It's like any other sport, I want my best fishermen on the lake at one time. It doesn't matter if that is two freshman like Ben and Nick." Riggs and Ratliff are versatile anglers that will bring a lot of experience to the team at a young age. Their ability to use electronics and fish in any water level is what stands out. Mayfield, a signee from Pulaski County High School, is another angler that has devoted his entire life on the lake. Mayfield was an avid golfer throughout high school but has decided to put the clubs inside the closet and have bass fishing number one on his priority list. "Justin has develop a serious passion for the sport," said Hall. "He eat, sleeps and breathes fishing. He has a nice athletic background with his golfing ability but he is also a great student." What stands out about Mayfield is he is just as smart off the lake as he is on. Mayfield met Campbellsville University President, Dr. Michael V. Carter at a Chamber of Commerce meeting last week in Somerset. Mayfield won the Young Entrepeneur of the Year award from the Chamber and is awaiting approval for several patents. "Justin is going to be a joy to train and coach the next four years," said Hall. "He has a passion for the sport and has a thirst for the knowledge." The trio are the first three signees for Hall this year. They will join anglers, Cameron Brooks, Dakota Cantrell, Rachel DeCoursey, Travis Hunt, Austin Moore, Hunter Pierce and Mason Sapp on next year's team. This story was posted on 2015-04-16 15:19:44
