Bellflower, CA - The King Team Handball league completed the first season in dramatic fashion. The regular season was dominated by the undefeated Team Mavericks, but the playoffs witnessed intense and competitive games throughout.

Finals:  February 14, 2009

The championship game witnessed a series of runs. Team Mavericks started off strong and reminded everyone why they were undefeated in the regular season. By halftime, the top seed managed to open a 2 goal lead. Starting the second half, the top seed pushed their lead up to 6 and looked like they were getting ready to pull away. Team People�s Champs showed why they deserved their spot in the championship game and continued to fight back. Both Patirck Truninger and Vladimir Andjelic scored 7 goals each in the second half to pull their team within 1 goal. John Collin came up with another key save on an uncontested fast break in the playoffs at the most opportune time and Team Mavericks was able to extend the lead to 2 goals. With time running out, the eventual champs locked down on defense and secured their first championship with a 31 to 29 win.
