Who will win the league?

Quirk Results08/11/2008The weather slowed the party down a bit Saturday morning, but the rain quickly departed and made way for great
handball after that. In the Open, Chip continues to have a great summer as he and Al Garner defeated Little and
Disidore in two games on Sunday. In the Contenders, Duckers and Willis, team Chinstrap Ryan, looked like veterans
as they handled their counterparts in Orel and Recker with a tough fought tie-breaker. Eric Storm and Sean Walleck
took down rivals Joel Rush and Bobby Vickers in the Masters. Walleck survived a bloody collision from Saturday
with Paul Pfannenstiel that left him with a nasty cut on his upper lip. In the 50's, Bembynista and Serrone kept
their stranglehold on that division with their 3rd outdoor win in a row, taking down St. Louis' Pettus and Smith.
And the 60's was another 3 wall slam as Duckers and Bolling backed up their 3 wall win from July by defeating Coz and
Bircher. A great weekend was had by all and again we thank our out of town friends for coming in.

KC 3 Wall Results07/21/2008(I congratulate the champs on a great final)Emmett Peixoto showed the KCAC once again why he is one of the best in 3 wall handball. He dominated the
field as he captured his 1st KCAC 3 wall championship and his 3rd KCAC trophy in less than a year. He defeated
hometown favorite Chip Morales, who was in his 2nd final in 3 years. Chip fought hard, but Emmett's array of shots
coupled with the oppressive heat eventually overwhelmed Morales.
