Legitimate Sport Apparently, badminton was not just another backyard past-time ac- tivity anymore. For more than thousands of players, it was a legitimate sport with the chal- lenges of its own. Caught in this fever, Estancia ' s badmin- ton teams have always devel- oped their talents. This year was no exception. The teams were nominated as the sec- ond most promising groups in the league by the Register. Many players have the speed and the ability to make good shots, stated Matt Par- kins. Luckily, more than half of the varsity team consisted of returning players, while the J.V. team members had un- trained but terrific skills. However, badminton had more than meets the eye. Playing this sport took more than just muscles, but also brain power. You really have to concen- trate and know when to do certain hits and where, com- mented Alysha Straub. But, what was the main cause which motivated these players to practice at 7 o ' clock in the morning as well as 7 o ' clock at night? Of course the fun of it! Even for those Varsity players who took it so seriously , it was the mind and body coordina- tion that brought them back time after time. After all, what could be sweeter than the sat- isfaction of victory when you have just killed the birdy on the other guy ' s face ? 158 Sports
