From 1954-1957, I played Handball for Roosevelt and then Taft High Schools. We were reasonably decent competitors but not in the top category such as Bronx High School of Science or Evander Childs.
Nevertheless, I myself went undefeated for my High School Handball career and went on to play for many years after at 2 and 4 wall handball venues till I moved to Israel in 1972 and found to my dismay that the consummate Jewish sport of Handball in The USA doesn't exist at all in the Jewish State of Israel.
