PAXTON — Two Sidney pool players were among those awarded prize money for placing in the $1,500 American Poolplayers Association (APA) 9-Ball Fun & Cash Tournament held last weekend at Windy Gap, Swede’s and Ole’s in Paxton.
Area players earning prize money include Howie Manchester and Scott Padilla, who both finished in fifth place.
A total of 50 players from all over western Nebraska registered for the event, which was open to active APA Pool League members.
The bracket format gave players a chance to play others at or near their own skill level, which allowed players of all abilities to win prize money.
Players submitted a $5 entry fee and the tournament paid $1,500 in guaranteed prize money to the top 16 players.
The $250 in collected entry fees was donated to benefit cancer research.
Free-will donations were accepted and raffle tickets were sold with all proceeds going for the cause.
The entry fees and free-will donations brought the total amount raised to $441.
The APA provided the $1,500 in prize money.
During the current session, the American Poolplayers Association has raised a total of $962 for cancer research.
