The MJBT headed to AMF Saxon Lanes in Little Canada, MN for our September event. We had 65 entries (48 boys & 17 girls) test their skills on the 37 ft, 25 mL, and 2.3 to 1 lane pattern. Spares were more important than strikes and the scores proved it.

On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Kalli Triske for earning her 1st MJBT title in a back and forth battle of nerves. Kalli was the #2 seed after 8 games qualifying and she would be taking on the top seeded, Maddy Wallace, also looking to pick up her first title. Both girls appeared nervous and their struggles lead to opens. Maddy started our clean, but 4 opens in a row late it the match allowed Kalli to pull out a 143-130 win.

For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to Zach Andresen for getting the THREE-PETE! Zach was looking to go wire-to-wire again, but would be taking the 4th seed, and red hot, Chase Swenson for the title. Zach was the only one that averaged over 200 during qualifying, and Chase was coming off a 3 game set of 238-248-248 to earn his title shot. Not a lot of strikes in this match, but there were some spares and Zach did what Zach does and clutched up late to get the 189-161 win.

Thank you to Nikone Keosongseng and the staff at AMF Saxone Lanes for hosting the September MJBT. A very special thank you to all the parents that helped out in making sure that our tournament runs as smoothly as possible.
