MJBT is an Official PBA JUNIOR AFFILIATE the 2024-25 season!

The MJBT headed to River City Extreme in Monticello, MN for our March event. We had 56 entries (40 boys and 16 girls) to come out and compete on a 47 ft, 24.73 mL, and a 3.05 to 1 ratio.

On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Lily Topinka for going wire-to-wire by leading qualifying and taking home the title. She would be taking on the #2 seed, Zoe Skinner, who was looking for back-to-back titles. Zoe never looked comfortable on the title pair in the new stepladder format for this month, Lily did not have an issue. This one was over early as Lily cruised to a 225-146 win.

For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to Drake Wait for also going wire-to-wire this month and making a claim on being one of the best in the Midwest. Drake would take on the hard working #2 seed, Carl Yant, who was looking for his 1st MJBT title. This was a back and forth match with both athletes having the lead in various points of the match. It came down to the 10th and Drake sealed the win with a double in the 10th, 203-193.

Thank you to Jeremiah Young and the entire staff at River City Extremes for being great hosts this month. A huge THANK YOU to all the parents and athletes for continuing to make the MJBT a premier youth scratch event in the Upper Midwest!
