I just witnessed something interesting yesterday. The Alaska State championships started this weekend. Playing for the hotseat in the 9 ball was a man that seems like just a few years ago was the young gun to beat. He now is early 30s. The other player is 21 years old and has been playing at a pretty high level since his early teens but continuing to improve. The older of the two was missing more shots than I have ever seen him and the younger of the two was playing a very smooth controlled game. It’s been over ten years waiting for a successor to the young gun throne and I think the handoff was made yesterday, the torch has been passed.
The eternal cycle.
