Race 4 Eight Player Week
Rapid Fire Challenge
WPH Patreon Press
Stephen Cooney relocated to New York City in 2014 in large part to compete on the Race 4 Eight tour. It did not take long for the “Coon Dogg” to make his mark on handball’s greatest professional tour, moving into the top 10 after just four events during the 2014/15 R48 season and earning consecutive Elite 8 invites by season’s end. Cooney is a tenacious bulldog that won’t give an inch to any player and prides himself on making each of his opponents earn every point. Cooney is one of the game’s greatest counter-punchers, consistently making his opponents pay for shooting in front of him or leaving kills up. Cooney’s dedication to his craft makes him one of the game’s true professionals.
