“It was a great weekend and we’ll be looking forward to an even larger one next year,” said Bruce FaBrizio of the event that offered over $70,000 in prizes, thanks to Bruce’s Simple Green cleaning products company. “It’s been a long time coming but I think handball and simple green are coming of age at the same time, the right time,” Bruce said when he handed out the checks. “Naty played his best and it still wasn’t enough to beat Paul (Brady) today,” Naty Sr., said of the great match the rowdy fans enjoyed. The doubles was some of the most exciting action ever as four of the game’s best concentrated on doubles only. Chavez and Munoz handled the power with their quickness in two very athletic games.
