This was a very successful season for the girls badminton team in several different ways.  Both our varsity and JV teams improved their season record from last year with varsity earning 4th place in the conference and 7-3 overall and JV earning 5th place in conference and 6-4 overall.   Individually, each player improved their level of play throughout the season.   The Varsity team finished 3rd at Sectional. Our varsity doubles team of Joyce Tsai and Rebecca Hsu finished 3rd in the sectional, qualifying them for state.  The doubles team was eliminated after the 1st round at state competition.  The team exemplified good sportsmanship toward their teammates and opponents.  We are proud of the badminton teams’ accomplishments this season.
