There are two weeks left in the regular season; three with state tournament week. This week a few conferences wrap up play. The following week the two city conferences hold their individual tournaments. Then it will be team and individual. Tentatively the\u00a0 finals for both team & individual will be at Edina High School. Wednesday, May 17 for team; Thursday May 18 for individual.<\/p>\n

There are a few additions this week—doubles career win totals (but just for the past two years) and coaching longevity and career wins. A word about the coaching lists. So far I have worked off the Saint Paul athletic website that John Vosejpka started. Not all matches have been recorded from the early years. Starting in 2004 the non conference and post season won loss has been added. There are some years prior to that that the conference records are non-existent.<\/p>\n

Minneapolis is the next target. According to their website records (collected by Jeff Bustza) badminton started as an interscholastic sport in the spring of 1970. This was all before Title IX. The only school with a complete record that year was Minneapolis West (a school that does not exist anymore) with a record of 6-2. Their mascot? Cowboys. Their colors? Green & White.<\/p>\n

PLAYER CAREER WINS<\/strong><\/p>\n

If these numbers are incorrect or incomplete (or if you have records going back deeper) send me the documentation and I will correct it. Send information to kja8067@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Right now, this is for the years 2021, 2022. Nothing happened in the virus year of 2020. Cut off currently is 25 career wins. At this point all wins at singles (first, second, third and fourth) are counted, and doubles (first, second and third). At some stage we can narrow it to the respective flight. Some doubles players currently playing are listed. This does not include the 2023 season. That will be added once the season is over.<\/p>\n

This will be an ongoing project with continual additions and adjustments.<\/p>\n

      This is just the St. Paul coaches listed so far. This is not complete. Many years do not have non-conference or post season marks. The cut off right now is 90 wins. 2023 is not included.<\/p>\n
