WPH Collegiate Championshipsby dave fink
The first WPH World Collegiate Championships was a huge success with 123 college handball players enjoying 5 days of great handball in beautiful Tempe, Arizona. All players were treated to an incredible facility on the campus of Arizona State University, and were able to play 4+ matches with the advent of the innovative triple drop-down format.
Every player had access to lessons from World #1 David Chapman, the opportunity to meet and play handball with tournament host and NFL Legend Jake Plummer, watch some of the best players in the world compete in the mens and womens open divisions, and to have their matches webcasted, where thousands of viewers from over 20 different countries tuned into the live handball action each day.
Thanks to the generous contributions from the Mort Leve fund, every player received a free entry to The World Collegiate Handball Championships. Players enjoyed 3 meals each day, and a tremendous banquet and dance on Saturday night. Players and organizers quickly developed camaraderie that will continue to grow the sport and this tournament for many years to come.
The Men's Open featured World #2 Allan Garner, The Blonde Bombshell, from San Antonio City College in San Antonio, Texas, World #3 Luis Moreno, The Natural, from Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona, and top 30 ranked pros Eric Hilgren From Missouri State, and Abe Montijo from the University of Arizona.
The field was incredibly deep, as evidenced by first round upsets of Abe Montijo at the hands of Nicky Anthony, and Iowa's Scottie Moler of Iowa defeated 5th seeded Padraig Mcglinchey.
The semifinals featured #1 seeded Allan Garner against Nicky Anthony, and #2 seed Luis Moreno against Eric Hilgren. Garner and Moreno easily dispatched of their overmatched opponents, proving why they are 2 of the very best players in the world.
The finals was a rematch of the Arizona State Championships, and the semifinal clash at the World Championships, both won by the Blonde Bombshell. Go HERE to read more:
