If you're a really good billiards player, there's a chance you've been called a "Pool Shark" in your life. That's the case for Shellmouth's Tyler Lacquette.

He took part in the Battle of the Bands 2019 Series #8 pool tournament in Cold Lake, Alberta over the weekend. Competing against roughly 50 players, Lacquette who golfs at the Gilbert Plains Country Club, finished in second place on the consolation side.

"It feels good. I haven't played pool in like five years, so it's a pretty good feeling to know I can still win a tournament," said Lacquette.

After being bumped down to the consolation side, Lacquette heated up. He won five straight games to advance to the finals. He would eventually come up short in the finals.

"You have to play smart in these kinds of tournaments," added Lacquette. "You can't really miss a shot because your opponent will run the table out and you'll lose. It's pretty much as simple as that."

Lacquette is no stranger to placing high in pool tournaments. Five years ago as a 22-year-old, the former Dauphinite won the Western Canadian Championships.

Tyler will look to continue his impressive performances on the table moving forward. He's joining a league in Brandon that runs every Tuesday night. Coming up in February, he's heading to Red Deer for another tournament.

"I'll practice as much as I can so I'm ready for that one, it's going to be tough for sure," Lacquette concluded.
