On Thursday, April 21, the Poly Jackrabbit’s Badminton Team faced off against the Lakewood Lancers in their last Moore League game.
They seemed to reach their goal of ending the last game sharp, as they won big games and decimated the Lakewood Lancers by a wide margin of 20-1.
Two girl’s doubles, Sydney Hernandez and Cassandra Mullen, pulled off great victories against other double pairs that had previously defeated them.
“It was very nice, but they went strong and won in definite fashion. They put a stamp on it, and that to me was the highlight,” head coach Steve Meckna said. With a record of 12-0 in the Moore League and momentum on their side, the Jackrabbits seemed to be in great shape for their championship games.
The Jackrabbits did an amazing job, placing both first and second in girls’ and boys’ singles. Seniors Mary Nguyen and Kristine Nguyen were able to take these places as they had last year. Senior Sambo Kim took first for boys, and junior Eric Lam took second.
As for doubles, junior Eric Shu and senior took first place, while sophomore Jonathan Ly and junior Ryan Keo took third. The girls pair of senior Sydney Fernandez and junior Cassandra Mullen did overwhelmingly well. Although they came in at 4th place, they were able to defeat their opponents in all their games to come out on top at first place.
The Rabbits now have CIF on the road ahead of them, but they are off to a great start. As long as they stay sharp and consistent, the future for them looks very bright.
