For the 26th consecutive season, the MJBT kicked off the new season at Cedarvale Lanes in Eagan, MN. We had a large field of 61 athletes, with 40 boys and 21 girls come out to test their skills on a lane pattern created by Craig McDonald from Cedarvale Lanes.
On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Destiny Truly for he continued dominance in the MJBT. Destiny was the #1 seed in the stepladder after 9 games of qualifying and overcame an early open, made a key ball change in the 6th frame against the #2 seed, Madyson Marx, and prevailed 225-203 to claim the title.
For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to Cody Larson for going all the way though the stepladder to claim the title. Cody was the #4 seed after qualifying and took on the #1 seed, Max Roers, in the title match. Max got off to a slow start, and like Destiny, made a ball change late to put a little pressure on Cody, and after Cody had back to back opens in the 8th and 9th, needed a mark in the 10th to prevail. Cody left the bucket (2-4-5-8), but made the spare perfectly to shut out Max.
Thank you to Cedarvale Lanes for hosting the MJBT this month. Again, they donated the lineage cost back to the prize fund, which made this one of the largest August tournaments in MJBT history. Thank you to Scott Pohl of On Track Pro Shop for their bowling ball donation to support the athletes. A very special thank you to all the parents that help out in making sure that our tournament runs as smoothly as possible. A BIG SHOUT OUT to our sponsors: MOTIV bowing products for their ongoing support for youth scratch bowling in the Upper Midwest!!
