If the two Jonny\u2019s teams won\u2019t make their move, any of the three squads supported by Jokers Bar & Grill may end up as the champion of the Saipan Billiards Association Budweiser Open 8-Ball Tuesday League.<\/p>\n

The Jokers Destroyers are currently on top of the heap after games last Tuesday night with a 32-20 won-loss record followed closely by the IT&E Voyagers\u2019 31-21 slate. Two games behind at third are the Docomo Hustlers (29-23).<\/p>\n

The StraighBlackBall, the fourth Jokers team, are tied with the Jonny\u2019s Crazy 8 with 22-30 cards, while the Jonny\u2019s Titans complete the six-team field at 20-32.<\/p>\n

The Crazy 8 and the Titans still have 16 weeks left to make their move if they hope to dislodge the leaders on top.<\/p>\n

The Destroyers last Tuesday made short work of the Titans behind the brilliant games of Rico Montano and Cesar Sangalang, who combined for eight of their team\u2019s nine wins.<\/p>\n

Their team up also resulted into two wins in the Partner\u2019s 8-ball event with Montano going 2-1 in the singles while Sangalang went 2-0.<\/p>\n

Nolan Cultura, the team captain, and Jeff Garcia were the other members of the Destroyers.<\/p>\n

The Titans are composed of Patrick Cepeda, Ray Matsunaga, John Reyes, Randy Sablan, and Jack Thornsaket.<\/p>\n

The Voyagers also scored a 9-4 win over the Crazy 8 while the Hustlers trounced the StraightBlackBall, 8-5.<\/p>\n

Action in the Tuesday League continues on Dec. 1 with the top-ranked Destroyers taking on the Voyagers, the current second placer. The Hustlers will be hosting the Titans, while the StraighBlackBall will visit the Crazy 8 in the other scheduled matches.<\/p>\n

There will be no Thursday League games today, Thanksgiving Day. Matches will resume on Dec. 3 with the anticipated match up between co-leaders National and Homeboyz.<\/p>\n

The Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll will also host the WIldBoyz, while Team SCS will go up against the Wild Wild West in the other schedule games.<\/p>\n

The Tuesday League will run for four months with the final week to be held on March 15, while the Thursday League will end on April 7, 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
