Rocky Shiflett and Freddy Scott
Rocky Shiflett held off a loss-side challenge from Freddy Scott to remain undefeated and take the Saturday, March 14 stop on the DelMarVa Bar Box Tour. The $100-added, 8-ball event drew 20 entrants to Georgetown Billiards, in Georgetown, Delaware.
Shiflett and Kevin West were the hot seat opponents in this one. Shiflett had sent Stacey Sudler to the loss side in a double hill fight. West, who'd defeatEd Scott in a winners' side final eight battle, moved on to send Randy Foose to the loss side 6-2. Shiflett took the hot seat 6-3 over West and waited on Scott.
After downing Al Stambaugh and Charles Hudson, both 4-1, Scott picked up Sudler. Foose drew Mike Ketterman, who'd defeated Ronnie Zhao and Rodney McLamb, both 4-2. Scott survived a double hill fight against Sudler, while Foose eliminated Ketterman 4-1. Scott shut Foose out in the quarterfinals, and turned to his semifinal re-match against Kevin West, who, in the history of the DelMarVa Bar Box tournament, had never finished below second.
He finished third, this time, as Scott defeated him 4-2 and got a shot at Shiflett in the hot seat. Shiflett completed his undefeated run with a 6-4 win over Scott in the finals.
