2025 Arizona Junior State Championship Results

Josue Carrizosa, Kaito Okumura, Ezra Seymour, Donovan Seymour and Jordyn Randell

We had a great turnout for the 2025 Arizona junior State Championships held at Dozer’s Grill in Mesa Arizona.

Congratulations to all the players! These kids had us all on the edge of our seats the entire day. A wonderfully talented group of kids with some of the best sportsmanship I have ever seen!

I was proud of each and every player that competed & it was a joy to be the tournament director of this event.

We had a few special guest appearances from Peggy Mallen, owner of Balabushka Cue Company and Mike Howerton, from AZBilliards!

The following were the results:

10 Ball 18 & Under Boys
1st place: Kaito Okumura
2nd Place: Ezra Seymour
3rd Place: Donovan Seymour

9 Ball Mixed 12 and under

1st Place: Donovan Seymour
2nd Place: Jordyn Randell
3rd Place: Josue Carrizosa

The winner of the free cue raffle, due to the generous donation of the Balabushka Cue Company, was Noah McGovern. Noah walked away with a new $1,000 cue!

Kaito Okumura will be recognized the BEF Arizona State Junior 10 Ball Champion and has received free entry into the BEF American Junior National Championships in July in Quincy Illinois.

This is the first stop of the Southwest Youth Championship Tour. Next stops April 26th at Corner Pocket in Bakersfield, CA. as well as May 10th at Slate Street Billiards in Rio Rancho New Mexico!
