MJBT is an Official PBA JUNIOR AFFILIATE Tournament Host for 2023!
The MJBT headed back to Garden Center Lanes in Alexandria, MN for our year end event. We saw 22 boys and 14 girls come to compete in the “yearly grind” that has made this added money event special. This year the 10 games of qualifying and round robin match play would be contested on the 2024 USBC Masters pattern (44 ft, 33.8 mL, 1.8 to 1 ratio).
On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Kalli Triske for taking home the title. Kalli was the #1 seed after match play (was 5th in Saturday’s qualifying). Kalli was going to take on the red hot #4 seed, Lily Topinka, who qualified 7th on Saturday and won the first two matches in the stepladder. The pattern played very difficult for the ladies, so strikes would be at a premium. It was a back and forth affair as both athletes had the lead at some point, but a few late opens by Lily was the deciding factor as Kalli cruised to a 190-166 victory.
For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to a sure fire future MJBT Hall of Famer, Zach Andresen for going wire to wire and taking home the title. Zach would be taking on his gambling partner, Lucas Hersrud who was the #3 seed for the ladder after qualifying 7th on Saturday. Early in the match Lucas had the upper hand as Zach’s trusty (or crusty) purple ball wasn’t carrying like it had all weekend, but Lucas wasn’t able to carry consistently on shots that he liked off his hand. It was a great match to watch and ultimately Zach came away with a 226-203 win.
Thank you to the Meyer family (Charlie, Chad, Mindie, and Sue Brede) and the entire staff at Garden Center Lanes 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!
