The United States was host to the XIX World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) World Junior 9-Ball Championships on November 29th – December 1st. Junior billiard champions 19 years or younger traveled from around the globe to Reno, Nevada to compete for the world titles in both the boys’ and girls’ divisions. Twenty different countries from six continents were represented, and at the end of the tournament, North America dominated the girls’ division with a gold and silver medal, while the boys’ division claimed a silver medal. The United States Pool Players Association (USPPA) and Rail Bird Project produced this prestigious junior event alongside the WPA World Wheelchair 9-Ball Championships at the Peppermill Resort.

SPECIAL OUTREACH IN EGYPT!!
Several months ago Steve Lillis, founder of Gospel Trick Shot Ministries, referred me to Maged Fawzy, leader of KDEC Sports Ministry, which has a very special outreach around Egypt and the Middle East. Maged asked me if I could attend a family / youth sports festival at a retreat center in Beit el Wadi, Egypt (about 1.5 hours north of Cairo). He wanted me to perform several shows and share my billiard journey / personal testimony with the attendees. The “œWadi Experience”, as I now call it, had an amazing impact on my understanding of open eyes, open ears, open minds, and open hearts and the special needs that take residence in them. What happened in Wadi is hard to explain in words! Following is my account of this special journey!
