Our October event was the 32nd Annual Mike Light Jr MJBT/CBA Trios event held at Southway Bowl in St. Cloud, MN. Our MJBT athletes signed up as a doubles team, then drew their adult partner with their lane draw. We had 23 teams come out to compete on a prior USBC Youth Championships that was 42 ft, 27mLs, and a 11:1 ratio.

Congratulations goes out to the trio of Zoe Skinner, Brandon Le, and Mr. ZVL himself, Zak Luetmer. They went wire-to-wire in this month’s event, and they made it look easy in the process.

The first stepladder match would see the #3 seeded team of Cooper Burns, Ava Hein, and Carl Poelzer take on the #2 seeds, Alexander Oudom, Maggie Bialke, and Nick Hogan. This match was all but decided after the 1st game of the two game, total pins contest. Alexander, Maggie, and Nick cruised to victory (235-202/437) over Cooper, Ava, and Carl (178-177/355).

The title match would go just like the semi-final did, as Brandon, Zoe, and Zak came out firing and put this one away early. The trio coasted to a victory with a 256-236/492 to 183-206/389.

Thank you to Jason Hanson, CBA Tournament Director and Southway Bowl Proprietor, and the entire staff at Southway Bowl for hosting this months event! 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!
