MJBT is an Official PBA JUNIOR AFFILIATE the 2024-25 season!

The MJBT headed back to Cedarvale Lanes to kick off the season for the 30th time! That is correct…the MJBT celebrates it’s 30th year and Cedarvale Lanes has been our opening stop every year! This time we had 58 entries (36 boys and 22 girls) to come out and compete on a Craig McDonald special MJBT pattern that was 42 ft, 31mL, and a 5.4 to 1 ratio.

On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Kalli Triske for going wire to wire and picking up where she left off last season…with a win! The title match featured the #2 seed, Brooke Salzman, in a battle of the who’s who in female bowling in Minnesota. The match looked like it was going to be over early, as Brooke was unable to stay clean on the right lane, while Kalli was filling frames and only one double. However, Brooke figured out the right lane and the match came down to the 10th frame. Brooke needed to strike twice in the 10th on that right lane, but was unable to get the first strike, leading Kalli to a 194 (CLEAN!)-177 win!

For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to Lucas Hersrud for also going wire to wire to claim this month’s title. Lucas would be taking on the #2 seed, Cody Adams, who was looking for his first MJBT title. This clash was a showcase of experience in title matches. Cody never appeared comfortable and Lucas looked like he was on cruise control that lead to a 225-179 win!

Thank you to MJBT Hall of Famer, Brent Prentice, Craig McDonald, Rick Sipprell, and the entire staff at Cedarvale Lanes for being great hosts this month. 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!
