Earlier in April, Mike fought through a tough field of 61 players to capture the first Virginia State Bar Box 9-Ball Championship put on by the Mid-Atlantic Amateur Pool Tour. Well, he’s done it again!! This time he fought through another very tough field to capture the Virginia State Bar Box 8-Ball Championship. Although an amateur tour, the MAAP Tour puts on three state events on a bar box. They are 8, 9, and10-Ball events. Those three tournaments are open to all players, regardless of skill level.
While only 48 players were able to take part in the event, Mike did not have an easy road to his second title. Young up and coming guns, Nathan Childress and Thomas Haas, along with many other local favorites like Eric Moore, Benjie Piamonte, Rob Leeper, Jimmy Bird, and Jaime Gonzalez. From Richmond, Virginia Larry Kressel and David Hunt. Joining Mike from North Carolina was Lee Abernathy, and Chris Gentile made his way up from Kentucky for the event. There were many other great players that took part trying to claim the state title, but after the dust settled, Mike stood tall going undefeated through the tough field.
