2016 IRT Ghost of Georgetown - Qualifying matches

Only partial results in from the 17th Annual Ghost of Georgetown presented by Novasors, which is kicking off the 2016-17 International Racquetball Tour (IRT) season in Overland Park, Kansas. There have been some upsets by the seedings, but the only real surprise is Francisco Troncoso taking out left-hander Robert Collins in five games, 11-5, 8-11, 9-11, 11-8, 11-2, although Troncoso is a solid player, who has represented Chile several times internationally, so perhaps we shouldn’t be too surprised. Troncoso will play Jansen Allen in the Round of 16.

In other matches, Alejandro Landa defeated 12th ranked Mauricio Zelada, and will play 5th seed Jose Rojas in the Round of 16. Andree Parrilla got a forfeit win against Brad Schopieray, and will play IRT #1 Kane Waselenchuk in the 16s Friday.

Also, Jake Bredenbeck defeated Bradly Rogers in three straight games, 11-2, 11-8, 11-8, and will play 4th seed Alvaro Beltran in the Round of 16.

The Round of 16 will be streamed live Friday from 10 AM via the IRT Network with the quarterfinals Friday afternoon from 4 PM on. Also, the semi-finals will be 4 and 5 PM with the final Sunday at noon. All times Central.
