TROUP, Texas — Cooper Reid has a passion for fishing.
Reid, a member of the Troup Tigers football team suffered a severe head injury in last Friday's homecoming game against Buffalo. However, he's also the heart of the Troup High School fishing team.
On Saturday, during the first Texas High School Bass Association tournament of the season, angler and organizers will be doing something special in Reid's honor.
"This weekend, they're having donation opportunities at nine different tournaments across the state, which is a tremendous help and support for the family," Chris Turner said.
At Lake Palestine, the Troup fishing team will be holding a barbeque where 100% of proceeds will go toward the Reid family.
"Fishing family is a tight-knit group. And so we've got a big, big group that we can lean on to help each other when something like this does happen," Tim Haugh said.
