Yes, the team that won the Open have players mainly from Dayton and Columbus Ohio area.. They placed 2nd in the Ohio VNEA tourney in the AA division in April with a couple of players different from the Vegas team winners but they are really strong players..
Alex Olinger won a bunch this year, 9ball APA in Vegas, and he's placed high in a few other tourneys out there too. He's a beast, plays real well. So does Lucas Hawkins and DJ Holloway.. They would certainly be tough to beat. Congrats Almost Hero's!
