OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - At the AC of Overland Park
It was a great day of handball for the masters players and fans in suburban Kansas City. Quarterfinal matches produced numerous upsets, an 11-10 thriller and several tiebreakers.
Defending champs Rick Harrington and Robin Peters fell in the 55-plus while most of the other seeds held true.

Semifinals in all events are on Saturday and you can follow the real time results, thanks to the wi-fi at the club and the software program used there. Let us know what you think about seeing the draws updated as the results come in.
Top seeds advanced in the masters doubles in almost all events, with the exception of the 55s. No. 9 seeded Lary Bozzay and Gary Brake of St. Louis, proved the lone Cinderella team in this year’s field.
Everyone’s looking forward to the 35-plus final where Andy Schad and Dan Zimet will try to unseat the defending champs Mike Panko and Tony Krocak. “I’ve heard Dan’s name and I knew he was a good three-waller but I didn’t know how tough he was in the front court,” said Matt McLaughlin after their semifinal.
