Results - The Zerega Handball Doubles Challenge - Saturday January 21st, 2006 - Zerega Indoor Paddleball/Handball, Bronx, NY  This was the event that sent shockwaves throughout the Handball community. The tournament was an all night Handball marathon that started around 9pm Saturday night and finished at 7am Sunday morning. The tournament was coordinated by Tyrone Snell /OOHA, Lefty Henry Santiago/Handball 21, and Wildman Rick Montalvo/Wildman Productions. The coordinators did the impossible, they brought back the annual Zerega Handball Championships. This was an annual event held every October by the late Dave Andree, and officially kicked off the indoor Zerega Handball season every year. For several years they were unable to convince the owners to put on a tournament, but in early 2006 they made it happen. It was like a Handball club/party and if you were not present you missed something special. It almost felt like a wedding or a family reunion and not to mention a full house of one-wall Handball superstars. There were 44 doubles teams and about 300 fans packing the indoor facility. This night had 100's of different scenarios being played out, just for example it was the return of Humberto Baez playing with Ray Lopez for the 1st time since 2000, St. James Park superstar June playing with $25,000 Miami Tournament runner-up Ervin Irizarry, Cisco (the Bx Monster) Aponte playing with Snuka (the Bx Beast) trying to protect their home courts, and John "Rookie" Wright (the #1 ranked Big Blue player) playing with the young talented Giovanni Vasquez (will he step up to the pressure)...and you can go on and on. In the semi-finals it was John "Rookie" Wright/Gio "Lil Rook" Vasquez defeating Cisco "Bx Monster" Aponte/Snuka "Bx Beast" 21-17 and in the other semi-final is was PeeWee Castro/Willie Polanco defeating Tony Roberts/Dave Rojas 21-3. In the Finals it was Wright/Vasquez defeating Castro/Polanco 21-19. Money prizes: 1st $1,000, 2nd $400, and 3rd $200 (3rd & 4th split) More info check out nychandball.com  photo by Tyrone Snell
