New Owners! Bill Rowsey and Kinnard Mays

In September of 2007, Kinnard Mays and Bill Rowsey purchased HighPocket's.  Kinnard is an icon in Memphis pool both as a player himself and previous owner of Players.  Bill is the long time owner of the Southaven Recreation Center and student of the game.  Both are passionate about pool and wanting to provide a great atmosphere for their customers.

There are multi 8-ball leagues with a Thursday night highlight of a $10.00 handicap 9-ball tournament.  This weekly event has been a Memphis pool tradition for over twenty years, and Bill and Kinnard are committing to keeping the energy up.  With that, $100 will be added to the purse for every 16 participants.  There are payoffs for 1st through 4th places with first expected to pay over $200.  To demonstrate the up swing, $230 was paid to Harry Hargrave for a first place showing and second place paid $100.
