The Missouri State Women’s Handball Team did it again by winning another women’s title at the national collegiate handball tournament, with Minnesota State-Mankato coming in second. In the men’s division, Minnesota State-Mankato came in first, Lake Forest second and Missouri State third. The combined trophy went to Minnesota State-Mankato by three points over Missouri State. In tonight’s episode we catch up with the president of the United States Handball Association, Denis Hogan about his vision for growing the sport and encouraging those of all ages to give this game a try. We also spoke with Angelo State University Handball Coach Dr. Warren “Spider” Simpson about his longevity with this sport and the value of cross-training in handball. His growth of the game and the financial support he has received is an impressive avenue for growing the sport. He recently received a one-million-dollar endowment named in his honor and appropriately called the “Dr. Warren Simpson Excellence Fund for Handball”. We close out the show with a little coach’s inspiration as we move into the winter sports championship season.
Speaking of championships, next week we will host Missouri State High School Activities Association Dr. Kerwin Urhan and Assistant Director Doug Fessler and preview the upcoming Show-Me Showdown
