Teams go head-to-head with Pit doubles pool tournament

The senior twins Konery and Lukas Klueber of Rapid City, South Dakota pulled off a nail biting win in The Pit’s best of three doubles pool tournament where students gathered at 7 p.m. Thursday. There was a total of 17 teams of two.

 The Pit spent around $185 on prizes and pizza for the contenders. The prizes were to be split by the first and second place winners.

According to one of the event hosts BriYanna Lyon of Fountain, Colorado, this event was exactly what they were expecting. 

“I think the event went very well. I think it ran smoothly for the fact that it was one of our biggest events. The event was what we expected,” Lyon said.

Teams were competitive and eager to win. Unfortunately, there was only room for two prize winners. The top three teams rose fast. They were the Twins, Wakanda, and Cheema. 

The final two teams to stand were the Twins and Cheema. 

Game one came down to the eight ball for both teams with the Twins coming out on top. Cheema bounced back with a strong win in game two. After two tough games, the Twins pulled off the win in the third. The Twins Konery and Lukas Kluebler placed first, while team Cheema, Javan Lanier, of Aurora, Colorado, and Amrit Cheema,  of Chadron, placed second. 

The Twins team won two JBL Bluetooth speakers, and team Cheema won two sets of black web headphones. 

“There was a competitive nature. Obviously, Lukas and I play a lot together. We know each other’s play style very well, and have a lot of confidence in each other to make balls. Winning is always fun. Lukas and I are seniors and we’re trying to win every tournament this year,” Konery Klueber said.
