On Nov 17-18, 2023, The Squash Tournament for Education raised approximately $1500 for two Horton High School graduating students, Sierra Cox and Dorian Palmer.

Apart from a great vibe in our new space at KCSC, a major highlight was hosting 3 Junior Divisions with a combined total of 25 juniors!! Kings County Squash Club boasted (pun intended) 24 of these young people and 14 of these are part of 902SquashEd and had never entered a tournament before!

Results:
Junior Division 1: Luke Boody, Julia Akao, Aaron Pulsifer
Junior Division 2: Camille Pointas, Johntae Hanson, Cohen Riley-Zwicker
Junior Division 3: Sam Akao, Byron Judd, Ryan Xin

Mixed Division 1: Liam Jinks, James Wiseman, Ed Beazley
Mixed Division 2: Matt Ramsey, Damaine Wright, Luke Boody

Many hands make light work.
