Keep Your Eye On The Birdie! Being the first season of competition for the Bad- minton team. Coach Scanlon considered it more of a learning situation than an actual competitive year. The team hoped to break 500 this season which was said to be a very reasonable goal for a first year team. It was also predicted that although there are no team finals expected, there will be a few individ- ual finals. Previous to this year, Coach Scanlon had coached Badminton for seven years. Her team this year consisted of thirty-two members. Only seven teams played at a time, so she always had eighteen extra players to choose from should something come up.
