DeKalb badminton coach Duane Cowley said host Buffalo Grove had two of the best doubles team heading into the Buffalo Grove Sectional.
That came true – Buffalo Grove finished first and second. But the Barbs took the final two qualifying spots on Thursday and will send the doubles teams of Hui Zhu and Holly Trapp, and Alyssa Wagner and Helene Collin, to the state tournament May 13 and 14 in Charleston.
"It's great," Cowley said. "We played some very competitive teams. Without being familiar with the competition we'd be seeing we weren't sure what to expect. But all four girls played very well.
