Rogers Repeats at Shooters IIBy Bill RosenbergerLeslie Anne Rogers continued her domination at Shooters II, defending her Hunter Classics Tour title by winning for the second year in a row.  The April 16-17 event drew 36 ladies to the Lake Jackson, TX, poolroom, and the field gave Rogers all that she could handle.Joining Rogers in the weekend tournament were Amanda Lampert, Heather Pulford, and Helen Hayes, who surprised everyone with her highest-ever finish o­n tour.  In the third round, though, Michelle Cortez sent Hayes to the o­ne-loss side, but she rebounded nicely with six straight wins to reach the semifinals.  In the winners' bracket, Rogers and Lampert were doing what they do best-winning.  The two sharp-shooting Texans met in the hot seat match to see who would advance to the finals.  The match was close from the o­nset, but Rogers took control late and ran to a 7-4 victory.After stringing together so many wins, it was left to wonder if Hayes had anything left to battle Lampert in the semifinals.  Apparently her tank was still full because she easily ousted her opponent 7-3.  However, Hayes had nothing left in the finals against Rogers, who pitched the shutout 7-0.Results:1st  Leslie Anne Rogers $7502nd Helen Hayes $5603rd Amanda Lampert $404th Brandi Smith $2705th Heather Pulford, Natalie Mans $1507th Julie Stephenson, Melinda Hinojosa $1109th Suzanne Walkuski, Tara McCracken, Rachel Hurst, Michelle Cortez $6513th Sharon Townsend, Sherry Romero, Sybil Wyatt, Jennifer Kraver $35  Visit InsidePOOL for the latest from the Hunter Classics Women's 9-Ball Tour.
