In what is always an extremely emotional weekend, this year's Junior National Dart Championships proved to be even more heartwarming. This team, proudly known as "The Wolfpack", worked diligently over the course of the previous year to improve not only their dart skill, but their relationship and bond with their teammates. The Wolfpack considers itself as more of a brotherhood or family; they win together, they lose together, but more importantly than anything they support each other. When asked if it was difficult managing a exponentially larger team this year (increasing from it's original four player roster), Coach Steve Garrean Jr. said that "Sure, at first there were a lot of different personalities and kids from different backgrounds, but over the course of 12 months those things begin to fade away and they begin to build friendships that will last for years to come." Coach Matt Winters added, "There were bumps along the way with an extended group of youth players, but in the end they find out that their brothers are there for them when needed most. This type of committed family style environment isn't for everyone, but we feel that is one of the biggest reasons we've seen the success we have thus far. We are not just a team, we are a family and it's nice to know there are a group of people that accept you for you and help in any way they can." Along with their two other coaches, Gabe Ahlers from Louisville, Nebraska and Wes Babcock from Omaha, Nebraska; Garrean & Winters said the boys had a solid support system that included help with mechanics, personal advice and even coaches attending their school sporting events. The Wolfpack has created a formula that isn't easily duplicated, but you can't deny the success of what they've accomplished as a team...or should we say family. Although the coaches said that they placed no expectations on this year's Junior National Championships, the Junior players had their own thoughts on the subject and even challenged Coach Matt Winters...if every one of the players won a National Championship, he would quit smoking. They almost fulfilled their side of the deal as the only player to fall short of a National Championship this year was returning 2015 National Champion Kole Gray; who finished with a National Runner-Up and three 4th place finishes this year. The Wolfpack definitely met and exceeded any expectations they may have had, walking away with 8 National Championships, 3 National Runner-Ups, 1 National 3rd Place and 3 National 4th Place finishes! Here is a list of the individual accomplishments: Singles Cricket Level 1: National Runner-Up Jeff Martens; Fremont, Nebraska Singles Cricket Level 4: National Champion Kade Hansen; Plattsmouth, Nebraska Singles Cricket Level 5: National 3rd Place Trenton Marasco; Plattsmouth, Nebraska Singles 501 Level 1: National Champion Dallas Winters; Plattsmouth, Nebraska Singles 501 Level 2: Back to Back National Champion Chance Taylor; Plattsmouth, Nebraska Singles 501 Level 2: National Runner-Up Jeff Martens; Fremont, Nebraska Singles 501 Level 4: National Champion Kade Hansen; Plattsmouth, Nebraska Singles 501 Level 5: National Champion Trenton Marasco; Plattsmouth, Nebraska Doubles 501 Level 1: National Champions Dallas Winters & Jeff Martens Doubles 501 Level 3: National Champions Kade Hansen & Dylan Dietl Doubles 501 Level 4: National Champions Trenton Marasco & Tabor Ahlers (Louisville, NE) Trios Combo Level 2: National Runner-Up Kole Gray, Chance Taylor & Coach Steve Garrean Jr. (Plattsmouth, Nebraska) On the night before the final event, Coach Matt Winters and sponsor M&R Darts of Spirit Lake, Iowa surprised the team with custom made jerseys that featured the team's logo and it's 2016 motto "The Strength of the Pack is the Wolf; and The Strength of the Wolf is the Pack". That must have fired up the team as the final day of competition, the Wolfpack walked away with 3 National Championships & a 4th place finish in their four efforts. With a weekend filled with accolades out of a Hollywood movie, the Wolfpack has some added pressure for next year's 2017 NDA National Championship...not just attempting to defend their National Championships, but with the news that the tournament will be hosted in their hometown area of Omaha, Nebraska. So now they have the comfort of their familiar city, but the added pressure of not being defeated in their own backyard. We asked Coach Steve Garrean Jr. how this will effect the team, to which he replied "This changes nothing. We will continue to be a family, support each other, work on the things we've always worked on and approach this next National Championship event the same way we have the past two. If it's not broken, why attempt to fix it". The Wolfpack as a whole seems pretty excited about the 2017 NDA Junior National Championships coming to Omaha. Excited for the Junior players they've met from around the United States to come see their home town and of course for the weekend of fun and competition. Coaches have already begun discussing the 2017 team and although no decisions have been made, they will be announced within the coming weeks and they are pretty confident in the choices they will make. They are looking for not just promising Junior darters, they say that's never been a deciding factor...they look for young players who they believe will fit the family atmosphere of The Wolfpack. The 2016 Wolfpack would like to thank not only its endless support system among the dart community and hometowns; but also its sponsors, who all made the past year possible: Greater Omaha Leagues/Central Distributing Co., Alkar Billiards, Keeler & Associates, Eagles FOE #365, Wick'd Smoke BBQ, Vis Major Brewery & Taproom, M&R Darts, HJH Seamless, Ben's Game Zone, Lighthouse for a Change and Plattsmouth State Bank.
  Dallas Winters, 14 years old of Plattsmouth and Chance Taylor, 15 years old of Plattsmouth both earned the right to compete against some of the best in the World by winning Regional Qualifier tournaments; and they did just that Memorial Day weekend at the 2016 Bullshooter World Finale in Rosemont, Illinois. Traveling with their "Wolfpack" Junior National team coaches, Steve Garrean Jr, Matt Winters & Wes Babcock they experienced the next level of competition against top tier talent. Both Winters & Taylor challenged professional players in several matches featured on the event's live stream via YouTube. They managed to win a few of those challenges, but most importantly learned from that experience and had people throughout the ballroom talking all weekend. Their play also earned them an interview with Bulls Eye News, a National Dart Magazine, which will feature them in an upcoming edition. Winters, with partner Donnie McConnell of Omaha, finished 13th in the World in the non-pro Doubles 501 tournament out of 246 of the World's best. That same team also made a run in the non-pro Doubles Cricket event, but fell short of placing. Both Winters & Taylor were recruited by numerous players to play with them in future tournaments. Winters, Taylor and coaches would like to thank their sponsors for allowing them to experience the 2016 Bullshooter World Finale: Greater Omaha Leagues, Cold Steel Transfer LLC, MEB Lawncare & Landscape, Alkar Billiards, D&M Transport LLC, 3G's Bar & Grill, Blue Devil Lawncare & Blue Devil Storage. Next up for the pair and their "Wolfpack" teammates is the 2016 NDA Junior National Championship June 24-26th in Bloomington, Minnesota and then the Nebraska State Games in July. Heading into the Junior National Championships, Chance Taylor & Kole Gray will be attempting to win back to back National Championships and Dallas Winters will try to turn last year's National Runner-Up into a National Championship. The Coaches are excited about what lies ahead at the Junior National Championships and believes that they will return with more National Championships to add to the team's trophy case.
