| | Hackney leads Central Open standings, competes for Classic berth |
 | | Hackney pushed to the lead Sept. 28 when he won the Open event held on Lake Ouachita in Arkansas, but this week he’s fishing for more than Central Open bragging rights and pay-out — he’s fishing for a coveted spot at the 2003 BASS Masters Classic to be held in New Orleans. |
 | | The Sam Rayburn Central Open, which begins Thrusday (Oct. 31) and ends Saturday (Nov. 2), will be the event that determines which anglers move on from the Central Open to the Classic. |
 | | The other anglers in the Central Open top 10 are Edwin Evers of Oklahoma, Arkansas’ Ron Shuffield, James Stricklin of Arkansas, Scott Rook of Arkansas, Texas’ Todd Faircloth, Illinois’ Chad Morganthaler, Matt Reed of Texas and Nevada’s Jack A. Gadlage. |
