Tucson, AZ, WPH Press, 12/17/24
Eight players from Phoenix’s Carl Hayden High School competed in the junior big ball singles at the mid-December R48 Icebreaker at Clark Park in Tucson, playing one-game matches on Saturday afternoon, as well as taking a JR WPH clinic from WPH Outdoor legend Samzon Hernandez.
Hernandez discussed his “serve-and-kill” strategy to the Carl Hayden High School junior players. “I try to serve deep to the off-hand and always look to kill the next shot,” explained Hernandez, who has won north of four-hundred pro tournaments in his illustrious career.
“Everything worked out well for our kids,” stated Carl Hayden Coach Chris Hogan. “They enjoyed the games and the atmosphere. It was a great day to be outside and play handball! Thank you to David Fink and the WPH. We appreciate how you really look out for our program to get better!”
Congratulations to Kevin Leon for taking the JR WPH Singles at the R48 Icebreaker.
