The 33rd MJBT season kicked off at Drkula’s 32 Bowl in Inver Grove Heights, MN. We had 64 athletes (45 boys and 19 girls) to come out and compete on the 39 ft, 3.97 to 1, and 30.2mL lane pattern.

On the girls side, congratulations goes out to Alivia Baskin for capturing the title! Alivia would be taking on the #1 seeded Claire Jacobson, who was looking to win her 5th MJBT in a row that she had competed in. The match was close early on, but Alivia stayed clean and found a few strikes late in the match to cruise to a 200-176 victory.

On the boys side, congratulations to Drake Wait for winning this month’s title. Drake, the reigning Player of the Year, was looking to place his name at the top of all time MJBT athletes. However, he would be taking on the red hot Michael Evenson Jr, who was the #1 seed and looking to go for back-to-back wins. However, Drake had a string of strikes early, combined with a bad break for Michael, allowed Drake to coast to a 242-206 win.

Thank you to Tim Drkula and the entire staff at Drkula’s 32 Bowl for hosting this months event! A huge THANK YOU to all the parents and athletes for continuing to make the MJBT a premier youth scratch event in the Upper Midwest!
