The MJBT headed to Buffalo, MN to Huikko’s Bowl for the September event that featured a new qualifying format, new way of tracking scores from the tournament, new stepladder format, complimentary mini golf, and $500 donated by Huikko’s Bowl! (Who says the MJBT doesn’t try to keep things fresh and exciting!!) 25 boys and 11 girls came out to compete and to test their skills on the PBA Mark Roth lane pattern.
On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Hailey Triske for the THREE-PETE by winning this month! It was a family affair again as Hailey, our #2 seed for the step ladder this time, had to take on the qualifying leader, and her younger sister, Kalli Triske. Kalli battled some bad ball reaction early on and made a clutch ball change to make this one closer than the score appears, but she fell to her sister 178-155.
For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to Spencer Beecher for claiming his first ever MJBT title!! Spencer was the #1 seed for the stepladder and held off Aizec Olson (who has made back-to-back title matches) in the title match. The title match had the #2 seed, Aizec, who had the upper hand by winning the semi-final match on the stepladder pair. Spencer wasn’t going to be denied this title and Aizec helped with an open early. That allowed Spencer to make great shots and he cruised to a 224-171 victory.
Thank you to Huikko’s Bowl, for asking to host and MJBT event. Also, thank you to Chad Huikko, the Huikko family, and the entire staff for their hard work and help in putting this event together. 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 Huikko’s for their $500 sponsorship this month for their ongoing support for youth scratch bowling in the Upper Midwest!!
