Young vs. old and the youngster won. Local Ky. favorite Eddie Moore went down tonight playing bank against Skyler Woodward. According to Eddie he had never been beat in banks. Well that streak has been broken as young Skyler beat him twice in 5 ahead sets. Maybe one day the Kid will get a little respect for his pool playing ability.

Yeah, he sure didn't get any respect in the Derby City Banks Ring Game when Freddie the Beard called Skyler's performance "the best banking he'd ever seen."
 
I can think of 100 people in various towns I armwrestled that had "never been beat" well, +1 loss in the column for them.

It will be interesting to see what forks in the road this young talented man will choose. Seems he has some options. :)

Yep, and he said it at least twice. Johnnyt
 
Would someone mind posting a link to where I could see this game (if it was recorded)?

If anyone simply googled "Skyler Woodward Pool"...


Here's a high quality match vs he and SVB on youtube:

Impressive! Race to 11, this year, goes down to the bone.

That's exactly what I did and I found a lot of youtube videos on him, I was just looking for the video of this particular match. It is actually a lot harder to find banking games on youtube, but I imagine this is because its not super popular or it doesn't get enough attention.

Yup. But Bustamante gets a near tie for "best." Here's what I posted back in February:

When they were head to head in Games 7 through 11:

• Skyler Woodward -- took 31 shots and made 22 of them (71%).

• Francisco Bustamante -- took 28 shots and made 20 of them (71%).

• Both players had a run of 6 and a run of 5 during this portion of the event (and they both had 6's earlier).
 
He's also stepping up against Jesse Bowman in June at the Carom Room for a race to 100 9 ball. That will be streamed. Going to be a great match.
 
The bank game was not recorded but if anyone knows Eddie Moore it left a lasting impression in his memory bank. His exact words after the game was "I still can't believe you beat me". I am pretty sure there will not be a re-match as eddie is probably scarred for life for letting the KID beat him.

Agreed. What made Skyler's effort so amazing was that he beat a legend of the game while that legend was in the zone.
