Back in the 23-years-ago day, when both Shaun Wilkie and Mike Davis, Jr. first entered our AZBilliards database by finishing ‘in the money’ at a recorded event, they were both competing on the same Planet Pool Tour. It was a good year for Davis, according to our records. He won two stops on the tour that year, finished ‘in the money’ in six others and chalked up his first recorded finish (65th) at the 2000 US Open 9-Ball Championships; the year that Earl Strickland won his fifth and last. Wilkie was just getting started and recorded his first and only payout that year, finishing 11th at the 8th stop on the tour.
This past weekend (Nov. 25-26), Wilkie and Davis finished first and third at the Maryland State 10-Ball Bar Box Championships. Along the way they both competed against Lukas Fracasso-Verner, a still-young competitor who hadn’t been born when the two of them were chalking up their first recorded cash finishes. Wilkie defeated him twice, Davis lost to him twice and he finished as the event’s runner-up. The $3,300-added event drew 63 entrants to Brews & Cues on the Boulevard in Glen Burnie, MD.
