๐ TNBA AJR Roll Off Results ๐
Today in the final match of the 2026 TNBA AJR Roll Off Championships at Bowlero Lilburn in Lilburn, GA, the Eastern Region โ Team No Talent โ finished in 2nd place, falling short by just 6 pins in a match that came down to the final frame. While the outcome was not what we hoped for, I could not be more proud of these incredible young women and men. โค๏ธ๐ณ
In our Eastern huddle after the match, I told them that the loss hurts โ and it should. Feel your feelings because they are valid. This feeling will come again in life and in competition, but use it for the next time you step onto the lanes. As long as you gave your best effort, left it all out there, and had fun, that is all anyone can ask for. We will not focus on what we should have done or live in the past. Instead, we will take what we learned, continue to grow, and build from this moment moving forward. But never hold your head low when you gave it your all.
Congratulations to the Western Region for the title and win! A congratulations to the Southern and Central Regions also Each team had to finish 1st in the Division 1 Team category to be eligible for the AJR.
Society will often try to tell us that the youth are lost, but that only happens when we stop investing in them. By creating supportive environments, allowing space for authenticity, and providing opportunities for growth, leadership, and success, we allow space for our youth to achieve, thrive, and become the very future we hope to see.
Two of these athletes are graduating and preparing for college, while two will return next season. Watching them compete, support one another, and represent the Eastern Region with heart, passion, sportsmanship, and determination was something special to witness.
Thank you to the Eastern Region senates, coaches, parents, families, and supporters who showed up, cheered loudly, and poured into these young athletes throughout the weekend and the season. Your presence, support, and belief in them matters more than you know.
The future is bright because of them! Please help us celebrate them!
