Brendan Crockett Character Award

 On June 28th, 2016 the Billiard Education Foundation lost a member of its family.

 Brendan Crockett was a large part of our Junior Programs for many years.

 He won the 14 & Under Boys Division his first year competing in the 2009

 Junior National 9-Ball Championships, and followed up with top three finishes

 the following four years. He proudly represented the BEF on the U.S. Team at

 the WPA World Junior 9-Ball Championships for six consecutive years from 2008

 to 2013. Brendan was more than just a talented young player. He grew from an

 eager teenager to an intelligent, charming gentleman with true character and

 humility. His humor, willingness to work hard and ability to lead have been an

 important part of our programs. In an effort to memorialize Brendan and all

 that he stood for former annual Lindenwood Sportsmanship Award has been

 renamed the Brendan Crockett Character Award presented by Lindenwood

 University.

 In honor of Brendan Crockett, we have continued to present this prestigious award 

 to one 18UB and one 18UG junior player that displays the utmost sportsmanship

 while competing during the BEF Junior National Championships.
