PREP PLAYOFFS AT A GLANCE : SOUTHERN SECTION CO-ED BADMINTON FINALS
- Share via
Today’s pairings (at Cypress College): Division I--Alhambra Keppel (17-0) vs. Garden Grove (15-1), 2:30 p.m.; Division II--Long Beach Jordan (15-2) vs. Rosemead (13-1), 2:30 p.m.
Last year’s champions: Division I--Keppel; Division II--Etiwanda.
Outlook: Keppel continues to dominate a sport introduced to the Southern Section in 1980. The Aztecs are going after their sixth title since 1987 and their fifth in a row. The team dominated the individual finals two weeks ago by winning three of five events. The leaders include Brian Tan and Nhi Phung, each of whom plays on two doubles teams. Rosemead should have the edge in the lower division. The Panthers were a Division I quarterfinalist last season before dropping down. They are coming off a 10-9 semifinal victory over second-seeded Hacienda Heights Wilson.
