Introduction to Reavis’ Bass-Fishing Team
Reavis’ bass-fishing coach’s Tony del Alcazar’s retirement party keeps flowing.
“I keep telling people I feel like I am in a Hallmark movie my last year,” he said.
Burbank is not a hotbed of tournament bass fishing. Yet sophomore Adrian Gasinski and freshman Cesar Peralta finished second (7 pounds, 10 ounces) in the Wolf Lake regional May 15 to reach the Des Plaines River sectional, where the Rams took ninth (7-15) May 22, qualifying Reavis for the state finals for the first time.
The State Finals
The state finals are Friday and Saturday, June 6-7, on Lake Shelbyville, first time the finals haven’t been on Carlyle Lake since the Illinois High School Association’s first state finals for bass fishing. Beside the bass fishing team reaching state the first time, the 2025 yearbook dedication is to Alcazar, who will teach science through the fall semester.
