John Morra Wins Another One

Dec 11, 2011

Fifty players showed up for the sixth event of the 404 9-ball Tour at BigWigs Billiards in Newmarket this past weekend. Leading the top half of the bracket was Alex Radomski with wins over Duane Leitch (8-5), McEarl Bucais (8-3), Alan Ada (8-4), Mario Morra (7-4) and Tyler Nearing (8-1). Leading the bottom half of the bracket was DJ ward with wins over Jack Reid (5-3), Justin Zammitt (5-1), Eric VanDervlugt (5-2), Nito Bucais (5-2) and Jaypee Castillo (5-4).
Playing for the hot seat was Alex Radomski vs DJ Ward. Alex continued his impressive play winning 8-3 sending DJ to the one loss side. Waiting for DJ on the b-side was John Morra. John Morra was sporting his new "12" handicap. This is a first for the 404-tour as no player has ever carried such a high rating. John lost his first round match to Rob McGill (6-7). It only took the one match for John to get comfortable with his new rating. John won ten matches in a row with wins over Wayne Graves, Rob Johnson, Erik Hjorleifson, Ian Argue, Richard Murray, Alan Ada, Tyler Nearing, Jaypee Castillo, DJ Ward and finally Alex Radomski for his fourth consecutive title.
