Accompanied by a smiling emoji, Laura Forbes relayed a welcome text message on Thursday (Oct. 1).
“A good day
for badminton,’’ said the Xavier Prep coach.
It was all
the way around for the Gators’ traveling party to Chandler Hamilton, where the
varsity defeated the host Huskies 8-1 and the junior varsity prevailed 9-0.
On Saturday
(Oct. 3), Xavier will play in its second tournament in as many weekends with an
appearance in the annual Forner Invitational at Phoenix Sunnyslope.
Unfortunately, due to health and safety restrictions, spectators will not be
allowed.
Xavier’s
next match will be on Tuesday (Oct. 6), a road encounter at Glendale Mountain
Ridge.
