  the many tournaments around town. 

  Last year he swept the competition at the annual Doc Hill Memorial
  9-Ball Classic.  His biggest win to date, it was a moment he'll never
  forget. 

  With this year's Doc Hill tournament right around the corner, we
  caught up with Benny to get a bit of the pool world from his side.
