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

For our March event, the MJBT traveled south to Bogart’s Entertainment Center in Apple Valley, MN. We had 55 athletes (38 boys and 17 girls) to come out and compete on the 44 ft, 3.6 to 1, and 31mL lane pattern.

On the girls side, congratulations goes out to Lily Topinka for leading wire-to-wire to claim the title. Lily would be taking on the #3 seeded Zoe Skinner. This was a match of back and forth, where one athlete would open the door, but the other couldn’t ever really capitalize. Spares were rare (MAKE YOUR SPARES KIDS) and Lily caught a late double to seal the deal, 171-153.

On the boys side, congratulations to Drake Wait for also leading wire-to-wire and making it back to the winners circle! Drake would be taking on the red hot #4 seed, Chase Petschow, who was looking to get back-to-back wins after claiming his 1st MJBT title at our February event. However, Drake wasn’t going to let Chase breathe, and Chase’s look on the championship pair wasn’t like in his previous 3 matches. Both of those elements allowed Drake to cruise to a 253-170 win.

Thank you to Chris Loth, Keith Heinrichs, Jeff Walther, and the best counter person, Marky Mark, along with the entire staff at Bogart’s 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!
