    All Time Junior Player Rankings

    I watched Ronnie Allen give Keith Mcready the eight in 1972 at the Stardust tourney when Keith was 17 or just before he turned 17. Ronnie beat him two sets at 500$ a set. Keith needed the 7! He was in a little over his head at the time. He was a pretty good player for his age but wasn’t elite by...

    Buddy Hall - RIP

    I spoke with Alfie’s youngest brother Doug Taylor and he confirmed he was in an assisted living place in Tucson Arizona. Doug gave me the number but chances are you won’t get Alfie! Told me he was hard to understand over the phone so I haven’t called!

    My personal cue

    Yes, Marshall Carpenter! Myself and Bobby Taylor my road buddy stopped by the pool room Squirrel played at and I was gonna shoot 500$ at him at 50$ a game about 3 weeks after I won the all around at Johnston City. He wasn’t there that day so we just kept on going!

    I was 15 years old playing this guy snooker at the “SACKEM” a bar pool hall on Red Bluff Road in Pasadena Texas. I was giving him 30 points for five bucks a game. Beat him 4-5 games in a row and he quit! Offered him 45 points for ten a game and he’s said yes! Well I broke the rack and ran all...

    My personal cue

    There’s 3 cue replicas on the cue lined up with the 3 nine balls. I won the nine ball division at Johnston City so I wanted 9 balls on the Butt! Plus it added a little color to the cue. Richard Black had some beautiful cues laying out on his high dollar pool table in his shop on Lake Houston...
