52 bowlers competed on the 2016 USBC Minors pattern. The cut to 16th after four games of qualifying was 813. Eoff led qualifying with 879 and received 25 bonus points in the M&J Truck and Auto Points Race. The challenging oil pattern yielded no honor counts on the day.
Badger Pro Shop added $200 to the tournament prize fund. Phoenix Pro Shop donated a Roto Grip Hy-Wire, won by Chris Pounders. Host center Ten Pin Alley provided a lineage discount and added four $10 gift cards won by Pounders, Amber Kwiecien, Kevin Punzel, and Ray Ozols. Combined this resulted in another $593 added to the prize fund. MAST extends a huge Thank You to our sponsors Badger Pro Shop, Phoenix Pro Shop and Ten Pin Alley for their generosity.
