During the TDCAA junior badminton tournament, our team went completely into the tournament striving for a medal this year. The confidence, support, and morale each student had during their games gave them support to lift one another. The junior boys doubles, Enrique Machuca and Shawn Noguiera wet undefeated on their first 4 games, disposing the first two teams with a score of 21-4 and 21-8. Their goal was to win gold, or at least a medal after losing sadly last year due to an injury one of the players had. As they reached to the semi- finals of the tournament, our boys lost to the UTS doubles team sending them to the losing bracket and losing the hope of winning gold. There the boys had to play 3 games in order to play for the silver medal match against the loser of the gold medal match. Through inspiration of Ms. Giovanetti and the confidence Shawn and Enrique put in their games, they were on fire and beat all teams to qualify to the silver medal match.  In the silver medal match, our boys came against UTS, the team they previously lost to in the semis. Our boys took the lead in the first part of the game, but later on lost it, and received bronze medal after losing to a score of 32-27. Congrats to the boys for bringing a medal home, and we hope for their best in next year during seniors.
