Barrett has been tirelessly working on promoting squash in Portland. He’s been working all fronts…. from facilities to Middle School clinics and programs! This summer, Portland Community Squash continued its mission to bring all of squash’s benefits to Portland, Maine. The newsletter is a candid representation of progress and status. Newsletter: http://portlandcommunitysquash.com/?p=967 While the Portland YMCA is not normally known for producing college squash players there have been some exceptions. David Born finished a fine career at Bates College this past May and his efforts helped inspire two other local Portland area squash players. Both Isabel Agnew and Paige Buchanan are graduates of the Portland YMCA High School program and are freshman students this fall at their respective schools. Both of them have legitimate chances to make the varsity roster to play and participate in the college program. Isabel will be at Haverford College outside of Philadelphia. Paige will be at St. Lawrence University in upstate New York. Both were mentioned in the CSA season previews! We’ll be watching closely and cheering them on from Portland. Congratulations to Isabel and Paige! For more information about the Portland YMCA High School program please contact Holly Parker The Portland YMCA Winter League signups will begin soon. This popular league has become the hallmark of Portland’s winter squash season. Players have come to love the group dynamics and structured play.
