DEKALB – The DeKalb girls badminton team got started on the right foot Thursday, taking a 5-0 sweep in doubles against the McHenry Warriors before beating them 14-1.
DeKalb coach Duane Cowley was very pleased with his team’s performance.
“I am thrilled,” Cowley said. “I only asked them for 11. Alyssa [Wagner] said we’d get 12. We had a good week of practice and we are in good spirits after today. This is how we wanted to feel going into our tournament this weekend.”
Leading the way for the Barbs (2-3 overall) was Wagner, who took her match 2-0, even after falling behind 15-13 to McHenry’s Amber Mecure.
