by InsidePOOL Staff
The Lone Star Billiards Tour kicked off their 2010 season with style, breaking their records with 88 players in the open 10-ball event and 21 in the ladies’ 9-ball open event. Q Stix Billiards in Houston, TX, played host the weekend of January 16-17, with Jeremy “Double J” Jones and Terry Petrosino winning their respective divisions.
Jones went undefeated through the event, besting Charlie “Hillbilly” Bryant in the final four on the winners’ side with a hill-hill victory. In the other winners’ side match, Rafael Martinez bested David Parker. Martinez then went on to face Jones in the hot seat match, but Jones proved to be too much and sent Martinez west. There he sent Bryant home in third place, but in his rematch with Jones he fell short 7-5, with Jones taking top honors.
In the ladies’ event, Petrosino and Courtney Peters matched up for the hot seat while newcomers Tasha Salandanan and Loretta Lindgren dueled on the one-loss side. Petrosino bested Peters, and Salandanan ousted Lindgren. The seasoned Peters eliminated Lindgren for a rematch with Petrosino. It was a hill-hill finale, with Petrosino finishing undefeated throughout the entire event.
