Neepawa’s Buster MacPherson has returned home from a recent racquetball tournament, with a bit of gold to add to his accolades. MacPherson, along with his partner Halin Li of Brandon, won the Men’s/Women’s/Co-ed Doubles B-Division at the 2025 Brandon Racquetball Classic. 

The team, who were the top ranked duo in that division, claimed the championship with dramatic five-set (11-5, 11-8, 9-11, 9-11, 11-6) victory over the third ranked team on Sunday, Nov. 30. 

This was the first challenge the pair faced that matched their skills over the weekend, as they had swept their opposition in the semi-finals (11-5,11-8,11-7) and received a quarter-final bye, due to being the top-seeded team. Buster also competed in the Junior A Single Bounce tournament, coming in as the seventh seeded player.  MacPherson excelled early, pulling off an upset of Gavin ‘Yinghao’ Bi, the second seeded competitor,  in straight sets (11-5,11-9,12-10).
