The Billiard Education Foundation (BEF) is pleased to announce that Predator Group, the parent company of Predator Cues and Poison Billiards, is the official Academic Scholarship Award sponsor of the 26th Annual Junior National 9-Ball Championships. Their generous contribution will help award scholarships to the winners of each of the four age divisions at this year’s nationals (18 & Under Boys, 18 & Under Girls, 14 & Under Boys, and 14 & Under Girls).
In addition to providing scholarship funds, the team at Predator Group will also be presenting playing equipment prizes to each division’s winner. The company had previously supported the organization by underwriting the Team USA shirts for the most recent WPA World Junior 9-Ball Championships in Johannesburg, South Africa, and parlays their efforts with their generous donations.

These are the next champions and enthusiasts, they’re our industries’ future,” said Kyle Nolan, Predator Group Director of Branding and Communications.
