MJBT is an Official PBA JUNIOR AFFILIATE Tournament Host for 2023!

The MJBT headed to Classic Bowl in Coon Rapids, MN for our March event. There were 57 entries (42 boys and 15 girls) that came to compete on the 37 ft, 3.5 to 1 ratio, and 25.4 mL lane pattern.

On the girls side, CONGRATULATIONS to Elizabeth Rittenour for going wire-to-wire and taking home this months title! Elizabeth was the top seed entering the stepladder and would be facing the #2 seeded Kalli Triske. Elizabeth cruised through qualifying having a look that no other girl in the field did and lead qualifying by 140 pins over Kalli. However, anything can happen in a one game match and Kalli was hungry to get back into the winners circle. The match was close early on, but Elizabeth’s ball reaction was too much to overcome as she coasted to the 241-183 victory.

For the boys, CONGRATULATIONS to Drake Wait on WINNING HIS FIRST MJBT TITLE! Drake was the #5 seed going into the modified stepladder and was cruising through the stepladder. Drake would be facing the #1 seed and one of the top players in the Midwest in Zach Andresen. Even though Zach also cruised through qualifying leading by 130 over his next competitor, the title match was again a showcase of better ball reaction. Zach struggled on the right lane most of the match and Drake never looked back, coasting to a 214-158 win.

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