Basavich Steams on Undefeatedby Matthew PingorParsippany, NJ / Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour - Solid turnouts, amazing talent, tough competition—the Joss Northeast 9-Ball tour was back in swing January 22 at Comet Billiards of Parsippany, NJ. A field of 52 attended the $6,160-added event and was treated with the pleasure of watching Dan Basavich run undefeated for another first-place finish. Vying for the hot seat, Basavich went into battle against the trusty legions of Filipino player, Al Lapena. Not letting Lapena hold strong ground at all, Basavich marched on to win 9-6. In the quarterfinals, WPBA star Karen Corr was campaigning to make a comeback from an earlier loss to Lapena. She managed to stave off Sean Morgan, winning 9-5.
From that point, Corr played as if nothing could stop her. Getting her chance at revenge, the semifinals saw her once again opposed to Lapena. Both players harbored a fierce nature of battle early on. Corr let Lapena get a few wins but only enough to give him confidence … confidence that she soon took away as if she was repossessing his assets. Corr won the match 9-5 and prepared for the finals. Basavich was truly a powerhouse during this event. No amount of momentum could topple him. Corr was only barely able to stay afloat as Basavich rolled on to win 9-4.Results:1st Dan Basavich2nd Karen Corr3rd Al Lapena4th Sean Morgan5th Dennis SpearAllen Hopkins7th Frank HernandezEd Vasquez9th George SanSouciJoe KorsiakVisit InsidePOOL Magazine for the latest news from the sport of billiards and pool.
