The next day, JV Girls Badminton attained another victory, scoring 5-4 against McClintock High School. While our Varsity Girls Badminton teams lost against Campo Verde and McClintock, they gained more experience and are looking forward to their next game on September 19th against Casteel High School.

I am looking forward to the rest of the season!”
