The 2nd Annual Colorado Junior State 8-Ball Championships was held April 18, 2015 at Rack ‘Em Billiards in Aurora. This special event drew 18 juniors from all Colorado and Wyoming.
Among the 18 & Under division, 16-year-old Kyle Chewning came through the b-side to double-dip Hunter Stoops in the finals. 11-year-old Jerry Miller also came from the one-loss side to defeat Tanner Stoops in a two-set finals.
Kudos to the Stoops brothers Hunter and Tanner for their runner-up finishes, playing side by side in the finals, and congrats to all the players who participated! Some were first time tournament players.
Drake Spencer was the lucky winner of the donated Poison Arsenic 2nd Gen Cherry & Black Cue courtesy of Poison by Predator Group. This cue is retail valued at $399. The same cue will also be drawn at the next Colorado Junior State event.
All participants received goody bags with sponsored stickers and items from Simonis, Aramith, PoolDawg.com, and Poison/Predator. Special Thanks to Rudy Kaluza and Pam Webb for volunteering their time to help the event run smoothly.
Don’t miss the first ever Colorado Junior State 10-Ball Championships on June 13-14 at Mile High Billiards in Arvada!
