USHA/Simple Green Pro Stop #1

Seattle, WA- David Chapman began the new Pro Handball Season the same way he ended the last with a win in the championship match. Naty Alvarado, Jr. pushed Chapman in the first, staying close until finally falling 11-10. Not wanting to get in a hole early, Alvarado easily won the second, 11-2; however, Chapman jumped out to big leads in the last two games, as he is able to do with so many opponents, and sealed the win, 11-4 and 11-6.

In the consolation final, Sean Lenning pleased the home crowd with a four game win over Chris Tico, 11-2, (3-11), 11-6, and 11-1.

Players and handball fans were treated with tremendous showmanship and first-class hospitality at The Seattle Challenge Pro Stop. A special thanks goes out to Ron Bozarth and his team, the Washington Athletic Club, and the handball fans who packed the stands to witness brilliant play.
