The 2026 No Frills 3-Wall Doubles lived up to its name: three round robin divisions of small-ball doubles, everybody guaranteed three matches, and a full Saturday of handball. Each division came down to its final round, and two of the three produced an 11-point tiebreaker somewhere along the way. Thanks to everyone who came out and played.
Open Division
The No. 1 seeds, Carter Kounovsky and Vincent Yam, won all three matches without dropping a game. They opened against Joshua Osburn and Morgan Stevens, 21-11, 21-12, handled Williams Vargas and Logan Foley 21-7, 21-10, and closed out the title in the last round against Adam Zimet and Patrick Myers, 21-4, 21-7.
The race behind them was the better story. Osburn and Stevens, seeded fourth, played like anything but, taking down Zimet and Myers 21-11, 21-6 and then surviving the tightest Open match of the day against Vargas Vallejos and Foley, 21-15, 21-16, to lock up second place at 2-1. Zimet and Myers took third on the strength of a tiebreaker win over Vargas Vallejos and Foley in the opening round, 21-11, 13-21, 11-3.
A Division
Jason Larose and Tom Stocks came in as the No. 3 seeds and left as the clear class of the division — but they had to earn it early. In their first match, Jimmy Page and Candido Rivera took game one 21-18 before Larose and Stocks settled in and ran away with it, 18-21, 21-10, 21-1. From there they never looked back, beating the top-seeded team of Milton Terrazas and Larry Defauw 21-17, 21-12 and finishing off Keith Neihart and Rhys Cohen 21-14, 21-1 to take the title at 3-0.
Terrazas and Defauw claimed second at 2-1, opening with a 21-1, 21-7 win over Neihart and Cohen and grinding out a tiebreaker against Page and Rivera, 11-21, 21-10, 11-6. The match of the day, though, belonged to Neihart and Cohen, who edged Page and Rivera 14-21, 21-19, 11-10 — about as close as a round robin match can get — to take third.
Men’s 60+ Division
The 60s came down to exactly the match everyone expected: the final-round showdown between top-seeded Roger Berry and Stephen Bossung and second-seeded Bruce Cohen and Eric Gunzelman, both teams having already beaten Peter Peart and Robert Humphreys. Cohen and Gunzelman drew first blood, taking game one 21-17, but Berry and Bossung answered with a 21-11 second game and then held on in the breaker, 17-21, 21-11, 11-9, for the title.
Cohen and Gunzelman took second after a 21-4, 21-12 win over Peart and Humphreys, who pushed Berry and Bossung hard in their first game — 21-18 — before settling for third.
