WILDWOOD, N.J. (AP) Louie Lee has proven himself the current dominant male player in his sport after crushing an opponent to win a national championship.
The Mesa, Colorado, boy is 11 and he shoots marbles. He shoots them so well, in fact, that he was dubbed ''king'' of the 93rd National Marbles Championship in Wildwood, New Jersey, Thursday.
He took his place on a wooden throne next to ''queen'' Haley Grensko to share the traditional marbles championship kiss. The 13-year-old from Pittsburgh defeated another girl from western Pennsylvania for the girls crown.
Both winners took home $2,000 college scholarships.
About 50 ''mibsters'' ages 8 to 14 played more than 1,200 games during the four-day tournament held in this New Jersey shore town for decades.
