This recent Duke graduate has left-wall backhand power reminiscent of the way Blair Horler intimidated the opposition during the latter’s brief and injury-curtailed but spectacular run with Clive Leach in the early-2000’s, which was highlighted by their winter/spring ’03 triumphs at the Canadian Pro, Creek Challenge Cup and Kellner Cup. After combining with Andrew Cordova through a number of successful qualifying-draw forays in the mid-2000’s (most importantly when they defeated the established team of Ed Chilton, Porter’s coach during his teenage years at the Wilmington Country Club, and Andrew Slater, at Wilmington in December ’06), Porter joined up with Greg Park this past March with noteworthy results: they were semifinalists in both Challenger events which they entered (Germantown in March and Wilmington in December) and quarterfinalists in both full-ranking events in October, in each case when they survived a five-game qualifier (once after trailing 6-0 in the fifth) and then won a five-game round-of-16. A consistent top-three as he moved from one age-group category to another during his days in junior squash, Porter was also an outstanding golfer as a high-school student before deciding to concentrate on squash once he entered college.
