The world’s longest-running racquetball tournament is on in Winnipeg this weekend.
Forty athletes are expected to hit the court as part of the 48th annual Keystone Classic on Feb. 3 and 4 – including players from Brandon, Man., Neepawa, Man., and Saskatchewan.
One of those athletes is Buster MacPherson, who made his Keystone Classic debut on Saturday.
“It’s my first tournament and I’m pretty excited,” MacPherson said after his first game.
The 13-year-old started playing racquetball just a couple months ago and says he is determined to squash the competition.
“I kind of just got into it recently for a thing to do, like a hobby,” he said.
Racquetball Manitoba executive director Jennifer Saunders says the Keystone Classic sees players of all ages and skill levels.
