Badminton Serves a Triumphant Season With only two returning players, Debbie Ballard and Susie Silvas, badminton coach Yolie Munoz's pre-season hopes were optimistic at best. The team was very young as far as experience goes, exclaimed Coach Munoz. but Debbie and Susie both provided leadership for the other girls which proved to be invaluable. Undefeated all year was number five player Lavon O'Banner, a junior who outplayed all ten of her foes in a smashing fashion. Rounding out the top six were Judy Kelley, Kristie Ramsey, and Terri Harrell, all first year players with outstanding 9-1 records. Making Westwood a team to be feared, the girls combined their efforts to demolish all ten of their opponents for the season. On the Junior Varsity circuit, junior Sara Brown led the team with an unblemished 9-0 record as the Tribe turned in an outstanding 7-win, 2-loss performance on the year. 9 Varsity Badminton Westwood Opponent Westwood Opponent 8 McClintock 1 6 Mesa 3 9 Arcadia 0 8 Chaparral 1 9 Marcos DeNiza 0 9 Mt.
