The Laurel Highlands TAP spring Titleholder is history. 54 teams from three
states showed up to battle it out for a portion of the $13,100 prize fund in
Derry, Pa at the Cooperstown Vets.
After it was all said and done as teams competed in a round robin format
and then to a single elimination board, the Star Inn from Ohio walked off with
the top prize on Sunday evening. The final match was pitted a strong opponent
from Johnstown, Pa., The Country Inn. In the hill-hill match with the Star Inn
player, Wilie Sanchez needing just one game and the Country Inn
player, 17 year old Jake Humphreys needing 2 and on the
table, Jake left himself with a tough cut on the 8 to send the match to a final
game. But it was not to be as Jake miscued and gave Willie a ball in hand and a
easy run out for the championship. All of this can be seen on the U Stream link
