MJBT is an Official PBA JUNIOR AFFILIATE the 25-26 season!

For our November event, the MJBT headed east to PINZ Entertainment Center in Oakdale, MN. We had 62 athletes (44 boys and 18 girls) to come out and compete on the 42 ft, 4.2 to 1, and 28.6mL lane pattern.

On the girls side, congratulations goes out to Zoe Skinner for leading wire-to-wire and claiming the title. Zoe took on the #3 seeded Lily Topinka for the championship, and this match had everything you want for a dramatic ending. Lead changes, clutch shots, and to top it off, it came down to the 10th frame. Lily threw some great shots to end the match to force Zoe to at least mark and get 7. Zoe got the spare in the first half of the 10th, then needing 7, got exactly that on a slightly high hit, taking the victory with a 201-200 final score.

On the boys side, congratulations to first time MJBT entrant, Nicholas Rajkovic, from Australia and currently attending college in Fort Doge, IA, for winning this month’s event. Nicholas was the #3 seed going into the stepladder and would be taking on Chase Petschow, the #7 seed, for the title. Both men would be fighting for their first MJBT title. The match was tight early on, but a couple of errant shots by Chase in the middle of the match, allowed Nicholas to cruise to the 267-211 win.

Thank you to Jack Brandes and the entire staff at PINZ Entertainment Center 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!
