A Super Sunday for Handball

The 32nd annual Super Bowl Handball Tournament was held on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 11, at MAC. The double pairings were a bit different this year, as Tournament Director Bob Evenson invited more of the better MAC handball players to play. He then paired the better players with the more novice, oldest, and upcoming MAC junior players. The beauty of this arrangement is that double teams played with and against players they never played with before.

The logistics of the tournament were that each of the double teams would play all the other teams in a match to 11 points. After each match, the points were recorded (i.e., 11-8). The team that had the most points after playing all the other teams was the winner!

After playing eight matches, the players were ready to rest and enjoy a festive feast of food and libations from MAC. Watching the experienced players interact with the younger players was indeed thrilling for all. The camaraderie that was developing will be there for a lifetime of friendship among handball players spending a lot of time together.

Again, the Handball community thanks Dr. Ed Grossenbacher for providing the prizes for this tournament. The fun part of this tournament is that you don’t have to win just first to get a prize, as Ed gives prizes for fifth and sixth place in the tournament.

See everyone next year!
