A tight Angler of the Year race between Russell Cecil of Willis and Chris McCall of Brookeland will be decided when the Costa FLW Series Southwestern Division closes out its 2016 season on Sept. 29-Oct. 1 on Lake Ft. Gibson in Wagoner, Okla.
Cecil is the current AOY leader with 485 points, but McCall is running a very close second with 483 points.
On the co-angler side, Fussell leads the pack with 484 points, but several others are in easy striking distance. A narrow 12-point gap currently separates first and fifth place among co-anglers.
