He is<br \/>\nknown for exuding confidence when competing, and has never allowed his<br \/>\nhearing to hinder his ability to succeed. Unlike the stereotypical<br \/>\nimage projected of pool players in the 20th century, Van Boening does<br \/>\nnot use alcohol or tobacco. Van Boening, in fact, is a new breed in<br \/>\nthe sport and offers hope to many young players who have the desire,<br \/>\npassion for the game, and the right capabilities to succeed in pocket<br \/>\nbilliard disciplines. <\/p>\n<p>Van Boening\u2019s titles include: <\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 2007 Predator World Ten-ball Champion <\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 2007 U.S. Open 9-Ball Champion <\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Three-time Valley National Eight-ball Association\u2019s (VNEA)<br \/>\nNational 8-ball Champion <\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 2007 Inside POOL Magazine Player of the Year <\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 2007 Billiards Digest (male) Player of the Year <\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 2007 Pool &#038; Billiard Magazine (male) Player of the Year <\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 2007 Pool &#038; Billiard Magazine Fans&#8217; Top 20 Favorite Players, #11 <\/p>\n<p>WHEN: 7:00 \u2013 8:30 pm <\/p>\n<p>Monday, November 3, 2008 <\/p>\n<p>WHERE: <\/p>\n<p>Deaf Smith Center <\/p>\n<p>Texas School for the Deaf <\/p>\n<p>1102 South Congress Avenue <\/p>\n<p>Austin, Texas 78704 <\/p>\n<p>With a strong belief in culture and community at TSD, students form a<br \/>\nunique identity based on their individual strengths and talents.
