Finally, a national first place title!

A goal and dream of mine for the last ten years has been to win a national team championship. It finally happened this year with a wonderful team of Jared Bailey, Jesse Engel, Brian Haffner, and Dustin Morris. I’ll be writing more about the experience soon. Here’s a photo of our winning team.

  6. Mike, Hey I am happy for you . I started playing when I was 16 . I played in my first BCA League we won first place and was able to go to the Nationals. It was held in Fort Worth Taxas at the time. I was the last player on the rooster to shoot. I was the weekest player and it came down to me . Back then I knew nothing about defence just offence. Well need I say more It was my shot and the crowd was all watching I missed the shot and we packed our bage and went home. I have not played in a team event since. I am 42 now and I play banks. Yes banks I finished 10th a few year back and last year I finished 19th . I have a gaol to win The Derby City Classic Bank Tournament. So I know how you feel.

  7. Mr. Hughes,

    That’s an awesome feat for anyone. It takes mainly talent with just a little bit of luck thrown in.

    All I want to do is win the Lottery and then I can buy all the trophies I want. LOL

    I’m glad I know most of you guys on the team. Super.
