There were a few compelling parallels between last month’s $750-added, 2024 Maine State 9-Ball Championships (Feb. 17-18) and last weekend’s $750-added Maine State 10-Ball Championships (March 9-10), both hosted by TJ’s Billiards in Waterville, ME. For beginners, the 9-ball event’s winner and runner-up, Kyle Pepin and Samoth Sam ended up in a 10-ball match that would determine which of them would finish in the four-way tie for 9th (it would turn out to be Pepin). David Hall, who finished 4th in 9-ball, went undefeated to claim the 10-ball title. He had split two 9-ball matches versus Samoth Sam, winning the first and losing the second, double-hill, in the 9-ball quarterfinals. Pepin had been responsible for sending Hall to the 9-ball loss side. Though Hall did not face Pepin during his 10-ball campaign, he did open the 10-ball proceedings with an 8-5 victory over Sam. Bill Longmore finished 5th in both events.
