Winning the final match of the regular season can do wonders for a player’s outlook.
And Xavier
Prep’s badminton team left the Chandler High gym on Thursday (Oct. 14) with
smiles on their faces after a 5-4 victory over the host Wolves.
After a 3-3
deadlock at the end of singles play, the Gators survived with two victories in
doubles, by the teams of Riley Dowdall and Sophia Bonilla and Lexi Garman and
Caroline Cobb.
The Gators
finished the regular season at 8-10-1 and now must wait to see if they qualify
for the Division I team tournament, with the announcement likely coming from
the Arizona Interscholastic Association next week.
