The 2nd event of the season headed to Central Minnesota to a first time ever host of the MJBT, McPete’s Sports Bar & Lanes. We had 48 athletes (32 boys and 16 girls) come out to compete on a previous Junior Gold pattern that was 42 ft, 24.9mL, and 3.7 to 1 ratio.

On the girls side, congratulations goes out Zoe Skinner for going wire-to-wire and capturing this month’s title! Zoe would be taking on the #2 seeded, Katie Crowley, who had just won a 9th & 10th frame roll-off tiebreaker in the semi-final. Katie was searching a little during the semi-final, and that continued during the title match. And if your look isn’t great, you will have a tough time beating one of the best in the Midwest in Zoe Skinner. Zoe cruised to a 213-161 win.

On the boys side, congratulations to Chase McVicar for also going wire-to-wire and winning his 1st MJBT title. Chase would be taking on the #4 seeded Camden McEwan, who was trying to run the ladder for his first MJBT title. Camden was the definition of consistency during qualifying and that trend continued in the first two matches of the stepladder. However, Chase was determined to claim that first title after leading qualifying. This match was close through 7 frames. Camden opened in the 8th and Chase closed the door by doubling in the 8th and 9th, and claimed his title with a 205-176 win.

Thank you to John Foss, William Foss (former MJBT member) and the entire staff at McPete’s Sports Bar & Lanes 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!
