Nikko is having a Break out year. I think he has finally reached an age where he can concentrate and believe in himself.
For the JR. 13 and Under I'm betting on Michael Ohlman from Louisville Ky.
If anyone is there and gets a chance to watch this kid, do it! He is a short kid with really long past shoulder length hair. He will someday be one of the guys we are talking about winning the worlds. He already has grown adults in the area scared to play against him. So if you get the chance go over and check out the Future stars playing Jr's!!!!
Nikko still doesn't have the patience. He's got the talent, and he might lead for a round or two, but I think he's too emotional to go the distance at worlds.
These Kansas boys might give em a challenge. Crispin Carrasco has some GAME! I'm hoping he'll take it all the way.
For the ladies, I hope Liz Lopez wins it.
I've got a lot of buddies playing Advanced; it's hard to pick just one. I'll have to go with Crispin's brother Bo. How awesome would that be, brothers bringin home titles.
