The MJBT headed to Garden Center Lanes in Alexandria, MN for our added money year end event. We had 29 boys and 13 girls that came out to compete in our first dual pattern event that featured a 2019 Junior Gold long (50 ft) and short (35 ft) lane patterns.

On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Hana Roers for getting the three-peat by winning back-to-back-to-back months! The title match featured the two titans of the girls division, as Hana was the #1 seed taking on the #3 seed, Hailey Triske, who was looking to march through the stepladder. Hana took control early in the match by staying clean and catching a 3 bagger. Hailey tried to stay within striking distance, but and untimely 3 frame stretch of splits allowed Hana to cruise to the title, 190-159.

For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to Jordan Monnens for claiming this months title. The title match had the #1 seed, Eric Eagen, looking to go wire-to-wire, as he lead Saturday’s qualifying. There appeared to be some nerves showing as Eric didn’t appear as comfortable as he had all weekend. Jordan’s experience in this setting was pretty obvious as his only non-strike was a split in the 3rd frame as he put on a show, claiming the title with a match score of 260-192.

Thank you to Charlie and Chad Meyer, Sue Brede, and the entire staff at Garden Center Lanes for hosting this month’s event. HUGE SHOUT OUT to the Alexandria Area USBC for their $1,200 donation that allows us to run a Sunday Sweeper for those that do not make the cut. A very special thank you to all the parents that help out in making sure that our tournament runs as smoothly as possible.
