  • Port's Dabritz shines at VISA Championships

    NEWBURYPORT — Imagine standing in the dark. All is quiet and your is vision gone. You raise your hand, wave it and see nothing. A resounding click is heard, and overhead lighting gradually fades in around you. A packed arena and its hovering crowd is illuminated. The lights buzz and a mash of voices and camera shutters drown it out and reality quickly dawns.
