Hillard Undefeated in SoutheastJ. Pechauer Southest Open 9-Ball Tour / Dothan, AL

by Rick Davis
The J. Pechauer Custom Cues Southeast Open 9-Ball Tour pulled into Pockets Billiards in Dothan, AL, for their February 24-25 tour stop, their eighteenth of the season. The double-elimination 9-ball event was captured by Josh Hillard, who went undefeated to score the lion’s share of the $1,000-added prize fund.
As the first day concluded, the highest-finishing lady and junior players were recognized, each taking away $50. That went to Vicky Rybik and Lisa Wilson, splitting the ladies’ prize, while Jared Stephens took the junior prize.
On the winners’ side of the event Hillard and “BBQ Man,” a local player, each made their way to the hot seat match, although it was no contest as Hillard blitzed through for a 9-2 thrashing. Over on the one-loss side Scotty Townsend eliminated Jack Karowski in the quarterfinals 9-5 then toasted the “BBQ Man” 9-6 in the semifinals for another chance at Hillard.
The rematch in the finals showcased both players’ skills, and although Townsend was the favorite with his hometown backing him up, Hillard was playing lights out as he cleared the match by a comfortable 11-6 margin for the victory.
Results:
1st Josh Hillard
2nd Scotty Townsend
3rd BBQ Man
4th Jack Karowski
5th Todd West
T.F. Whittington
7th David Trest
Eugene Browning
