Johnny Archer Johnny Archer picked up a pool cue 23 years ago destined to become one of the sport's most extraordinary players. His domination as a professional is unquestionable; his resume reads like a dream: five-time Player of the Year, four World 9-Ball championships, U.S. Open championship, seven-time Mosconi Cup player, Player of the Decade of the '90s, and the saga continues. Sponsored by Cuestix International and a player representative for Scorpion Cues, Archer has entered 2004 full throttle, aiming at the same targets he does every year. "I'd like to win the World Championship again. Every goal every year is to win the World Championship and the U.S. Open. Those are two of our biggest. So, that, and I figure the rest will take care of itself." With the recent birth of his son, Johnny Lee Archer Jr., he'll be spending less time on the road this year and more at home with family. "It's very hard to leave, because you just get a little sad, and it's tough to get away knowing that your wife needs you and the baby needs you. But, you know, that's my job, so I know I have to do that to take care of them. But I will say I'm a little more relaxed playing now … hopefully that doesn't take away my fight that I have, which I don't think it will." It is doubtful that anything could take away Archer's fight, for as relaxed as he may be, his determination and play intensity are just as high as ever. Seen him on the table lately? When not spending time with his family or playing on the road, Archer is in a YMCA basketball league on a team dubbed the Scorpions, which recently went 5-4, and he swings his fair share on the golf course. He and his wife, Melanie, are also very active in the Church of God. "I'd like to say I'm a good Christian. We go to church every Sunday while we're home. I think that's something people need. Not so much that they have to believe in God per se, or what denomination, but I think a religious thing takes a lot of pressure off of you and gives your something to believe in. I think spirituality is a very big thing, and I believe in that." The well-rounded Johnny Archer is as much a genuine and approachable individual as he is a dominating pool player. Keep your eyes wide for 2004 … the man is on a mission. Visit InsidePOOL for the latest news in the sport of billiards and pool and Johnny Archer. Bio copied from www.InsidePoolMag.com |

Jennifer Barretta After only 7 years in the game of pool, natural athlete and born competitor Jennifer Barretta, has already become one of the top female 9-ball players in the world. With coaching and long days of practice Jennifer managed to become "Player of the Year" on the Chesapeake Area Tour which earned her spots into all of the professional events for 2003. By October 2003 Jennifer achieved the prestigious "Touring Pro" status with the Women's Professional Billiards Association, and in December 2004 Jennifer proved she was more than just a pretty face when she defeated the #1 ranked player during an ESPN televised match, ultimately finishing the event in 3rd place. Known for her movie star looks, and voted into ESPN's "25 Sexiest Female Athletes of 2005", Jennifer has already been featured in numerous international and trade magazines including a three page spread in the widely circulated FHM (For Him Magazine, May 2004). In November 2005 she will be featured in a 4 page article in Playboy Magazine. With appearances on "McEnroe", "The Best Damn Sports Show" and "One Life to Live" along with a principle role in a national commercial for Farmer Pharmaceuticals, Jennifer has not only become SAG and AFTRA eligible, but she has secured her role as one of the most marketable athletes on the professional billiards scene. Originally a tennis player and fitness competitor, Jennifer is no stranger to the pressure of competing and winning. A one time AAU "Ms. Philadelphia" fitness winner she has seamlessly translated her discipline and desire to win into the world of professional pool. With many tournament wins in fields dominated by men, this small town tomboy turned fitness pageant winner is not only set to conquer the billiards industry, but is certain to become a household name.
