2010 BEF Texas State High School Billiard Championship

With the completion of its ninth year of high school billiards the 2010 BEF Texas High School Billiards Championship finals was exciting to the very end. It was the final match of the season going into the last game with the score tied 27-27, and only the last ball on the table.... the 9-ball.
Its your shot with the match on the line and the 9-ball is all that stands in the way of you and your team being crowned the champions. You take a big deep nervous breath and exhale loudly. Slowly you chalk your cue while aligning the shot totally ignoring the dozens of pairs of spectators, teammates, and competitors eyes that are watching your every move. Your complete focus is on the 9-ball. It’s a long shot, a tough shot, but it can be made. It has to be made... for the team.
That very scenario was played out for the parents, students, friends, and teachers during the May 18th, 2010 finals match between the South Garland High School Colonels and the composite team of Richardson ISD consisting of players from the Berkner H.S. Rams, JJ Pearce H.S. Mustangs, and the Richardson H.S. Eagles. By far this was the most exciting finals match in our nine-year high school billiards history here in Dallas, Texas. Those that were in attendance that night will talk about that match for a long time.
Before we get to what happened lets give some background info on high school billiards this year and how we got here…
