El Barba won the Golden Cesta Award Week 24 at Magic City Jai-Alai in Miami, Florida with 6-singles games wins for the week, with 2nd place finisher RonRon just 1-win behind with 5-wins. This was El Barba’s second Golden Cesta Award for the 2020 season. The previous two weeks El Barba was second in the running for this honorary award to the winner of the most singles games for the week.

Magic City has now successfully played 24-weeks of Jai-Alai since early May of this year, which is an amazing accomplishment in this covid era.

Magic City’s “Wonder Boy” Douglas (real name Matthew Langhans), had 4 wins for the week in his 18-singles game appearances and had the highest % ITM of 19-players this week with a healthy 66.7%. Four singles players were winless for the week: Bradley (12 GP), Cool Fitness (8 GP before exiting play due to injury), Diaz (18 GP), and Kubala (18 GP). Watch for some better play from Kubala this coming week as he is one of the more experienced players on the roster at Magic City Jai-Alai.

The second and final doubles tournament for the 2020 season started last Thursday and runs through the November 29th. Current leading teams with 3-wins each are Asier-Douglas (11-3-1-3) and Diaz-Carballo (10-3-0-0). One of the wins from the team of Diaz-Carballo was a perfect game from the 1-post in Game 5 of the Sunday matinee. All other teams have 1-win except the team of Juice-RonRon which have none yet, but have the highest % ITM of 72.7 (11-0-2-6).
