Well, the State Games of Oregon is here to feed your summer racquetball fix.
This year's event is offering a racquetball competition, July 8th & 9th at Sunset Athletic Club.
Divisions are open to all ages of players.

The Beavers finished fourth overall, fourth among women's teams and fourth in the men's team standings.
The Ducks grabbed the ninth spot overall and seventh place in the men's race. The UO women finished in 15th place.
At National Intercollegiates, an overall team can have six men and six women. Oregon's team had a full six men, but just two women. Oregon State brought just four women and four men.
To rank in the top ten without a full team of players is quite an accomplishment for both the Ducks and Beavers.
