The Badminton team for the first time in the schooI's history hosted the Skyline Divisional Tour- nament. The team had an average season of 6-6, which was good since the team was going through a rebuilding year with the loss of five members from the year before. The seeded players for the team were singles players Liza Acuna, senior, seeded third, and Karen Zumstein, junior, seeded seventh. Liza placed third in divisionals qualifying for state where she placed fifth. Karen placed sixth in divisionals missing qualifi- cation for state by one place. The doubles teams consisted of Esther Schantz- Tina Fields, seniorsg and Gina Johnson-Lisa Gedra, juniors. They played hard but lost close matches in their first rounds. The JV's were all new this year but will prove to be good next year when halt of them will move up to Varsity. The JV's helped make the divi- sionals tournament successful with the help of the Booster Club, Student Council and parents of the team members.
