2008 Christmas Classic

The 2008 Christmas Classic took place at The Alaska Club - Midtown December 4-7. For all of you who missed the Men's Open Final with Brandon Cuaresma vs Robbie Gunther you missed a GREAT MAtch!.. Robbie came out firing away and his Splat shot it was working in the 1st game which he took 15-9, In game 2 Brandon had Robbie running with his "Touch Shots" to the front court and good passes to the back court even forcing him to call what Brandon likes to call a "Tired Timeout", Brandon took game 2 15-9. Game 3 was filled with Great shots from both players along with some fantastic retrieving, The score stayed close through out this fierce 3rd game and both players were pushing HARD for the WIN but that didn't stop them from showing plenty of Sportsmanship to each other over turning a couple of close calls by the Referee. Brandon went on to take the tiebreaker 11-9 to become the first Men's Open repeat winner of the 2008/09 Alaska Racquetball season.
