welcome to the mjbt – Where the biggest and brightest youth athletes come to compete…so what are you waiting for?

The MJBT ventured to Mermaid Entertainment Center in Mounds View, MN for our February stop. 35 boys and 13 girls came out to compete and to test their skills on the World Bowling Tokyo lane pattern.

On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Madyson Marx for winning this months event! Madyson qualified in 2nd and our #1 seed, Hana Roers, who led qualifying by averaging 195.8 for the 9 games. The title match had some back and forth early on, but Hana struggled in the middle of the match and Madyson found some strikes late to win the title 185-159.

For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to Zach Andresen for also claiming his 2nd MJBT and winning in back-to-back months. The boys title match had Zach, our #3 seed, going up against our high qualifier, Jared Durant, who averaged 210.1 during qualifying. Zach had the hot hand going in, shooting 247 in the semi-final to get to the title match. Both guys were clean, but Zach only missed striking three times in the match and won easily 245-180.

Thank you to Mermaid Entertainment Center, for hosting the February event and to the general manger Greg Holeman and his staff for always making us feel welcome. 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 all of those that donated door prizes to our youth competitors and our sponsors: MOTIV bowing products for their ongoing support for youth scratch bowling in the Upper Midwest!!
