Team Lincoln Finishes 4th at Oregon High School Racquetball Championships

On Feb. 1-4, MAC hosted the Oregon State High School Racquetball Championships. More than 130 kids from 13 schools around the state came to Portland to try to win a title. The Lincoln team practices at MAC throughout the racquetball season, and they used that home-court advantage to finish fourth place in the overall team competition. The Lincoln boys led the way, finishing on the medal stand in third place.

There were some great individual performances, headlined by an individual state champion and two MAC members who took home gold medals. Elle Newton won an exciting final 11-5 in the tie-break to take home the Girls No. 1 gold medal and finish as the highest-ranked girl in the state! MAC members Zach Bouska won gold in Boys No. 1 Blue, and Phoebe Solomon took first in Girls No. 2 Red. Solomon also took second in the Girls No. 1 Doubles. Overall, 16 athletes took home medals in their divisions. The Lincoln racquetball team (coached by MAC members) was led this season by head coach Seth Bouska and assistant coaches Bruce Reid, Mike Bibeau, Sanjay Bedi, and Georgette Blomquist.
