Organizers of the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions announced a change to the 2017 field following a pair of prominent transfers.
Father Tolton Regional Catholic, the 2016 Missouri Class 3 state champions, are out of the field and have been replaced by Madison Prep, the 2016 Louisiana Class 2A state champions.
The change follows the transfer of Michael Porter Jr. and his brother, Jontay Porter, from Father Tolton. Their father, Michael Porter Sr., announced he would leave his position on the coaching staff of the University of Missouri women’s basketball team to take a job on the men’s team at the University of Washington.
