Alabama fiddler Johnny Ray Watts did more than fiddle around at the 45th annual Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention at Athens State University Saturday. The Delta native collected this year’s Fiddle’ King trophy and the $1,000 grand prize that came with it.

Watts, the junior division winner, took the title by winning a traditional fiddle-off, which pits the top fiddlers in the junior and senior divisions. Roy Crawford of Cullman finished runner-up.

More than 15,000 spectators were at the convention sponsored by Athens State University Foundation and Greater Limestone Chamber of Commerce. The Fiddlers Convention has contributed more than $500,000 to Athens State to fund student scholarships and university projects.
