The United States repeated their victory of the last two years with a resounding 16-8 win over Ontario in the 2012 Ontario-American Challenge at the White Oak Resort and Spa in Ontario, Canada. After losing tight matches in 2008 and 2009, the U.S. juniors overpowered their neighbors to the North for the third straight year to take home the “Battle of the Border” trophy.
The juniors participating gained valuable experience participating in an international competition along with playing competitive team squash. Both teams exhibited high levels of sportsmanship and developed excellent camaraderie throughout the competition. The U.S. team was supported by a staff of top coaches, including Chris Smith, Graham Bassett, Scott Devoy, Kelsey Engman, Chris Gordon, and Jacques Swanepoel.
