Highland Park was charted<!--more--> twice: Monday with Central and Wednesday with Kennedy. Both Central and Kennedy had yet to be charted. Tuesday I was at Math &amp; Science with their match with Park Center (more on M&amp;S below) and then wrapped up the week with the #1 v #2 showdown with Harding and Johnson in team and singles won by the Governors on both counts.<\/p>\n<p>With six additional teams checked off I have charted 19 of the 32 or 59.375%. There are now 13 teams left with five regular season weeks to go. I need to average 2.6 teams per week the rest of the way to hit 32.<\/p>\n<p>We still have 31 of the 32 teams out playing. Fridley awaits and they join the fray on Tuesday at Park Center.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HISTORY &amp; MATH (&amp; SCIENCE) LESSONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>History was made this last week. No charter school had beaten a St. Paul City Conference school&#8212;ever. The charter schools started their badminton programs slowly with Hmong College Prep Academy the first joining the badminton world during the 2009 season. In the 17 years in between the charters never had a victory over St. Paul. The closest call came on April 15, 2014 when Como Park beat HCPA 4-3. Now Math &amp; Science can claim the first Charter school win over a SPPS team. It was the same 4-3 score and again involved Como Park. The game was at the home of the Cougars on Monday, and Como has a reputation for being a site that opposing teams do not like to venture to because of the narrow space along the walls for the backline. Both Como and Math &amp; Science were leaders in their respective conferences last year and both are under new leadership. M&amp;S is coached by Jumy Miko who played at Harding (finishing second in the singles division in 2018 to Nou Chee Yang of Johnson) and she also coached the Knights for a few years.<\/p>\n<p>That streak was 62 matches stretching back to 2009. Trinity of River Ridge did beat Humboldt on May 5, 2023 4-3, but\u2026.Trinity is a religious school, not a charter school. Trinity unfortunately ended their badminton program the next year when their coach retired.<\/p>\n<p>To give you an idea of the St. Paul dominance in this sport the team title has been won by a Capitol City member 21 of the 29 years in the current format. That is a 72.4% clip. Johnson (12 times) and Harding (8) have won the lion\u2019s share (Central was the other SPPS champ). The same holds true for singles and doubles titles. On the singles side of the court SPPS have won 75.9% while doubles are 72.4%. Looking at the \u201cElite Eight\u201d in the past few tournaments St. Paul schools have ranged from seven entries to six in singles and six to four in doubles. Minneapolis and charter schools have not had an entry into the elite eight during this window. Minneapolis last won titles in singles in 2005 and in doubles 1999. But the drought has been severe of late. The only charter school player to make the elite eight was Pa Zao Yang from Hmong College Prep Academy in 2014. Suburban schools\u2019 last title in singles has been a while too. Chusang Nhasang of Kennedy won the 2017 state singles title with a 15-0 mark, also the last time a singles player finished the season undefeated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE FUN WITH NUMBERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here is a look at how teams that have played opponents across the spectrum instead of staying in their conference silo (so far).

The competition level in St. Paul is high with lower numbers for all with one exception&#8212;Como Park. But that sample is small with only one Suburban match against Edina. But the swings are dramatic. HP has an improvement of 7.21 in singles moving from St. Paul to the Suburbs. M&amp;S is even bigger in singles with 10.91 improvement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SNAKEBIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Burnsville only has one game under their belt. Three times they had matches scheduled but were unable to play due to circumstances beyond their control. First Roosevelt did not have the contract signed sidelining (temporarily) that match. Then Minneapolis North had a bus breakdown forcing another postponement. The latest issue came on Thursday when the Bloomington schools called school off due to the impending winter storm, that turned out to be less than advertised. The Blaze are supposed to play three times this week (fingers crossed) including one match with Roosevelt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ON THE HORIZON&#8212;-COON RAPIDS? MAYBE MORE? ANOTHER HISTORY LESSON<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Coon Rapids has started an inhouse club badminton program. This may be a step to join the badminton party in the future. This would give the Northwest Suburban Conference a second program and would be a gateway to the five school Anoka-Hennepin district. That could deliver even more Anoka County schools.<\/p>\n<p>Other spots that should be and could be ripe for new programs would be Maple Grove (the intersection of the Lake Conference and the Osseo district &#8212;Park Center\u2019s home); Roseville; Woodbury, Park-Cottage Grove; Hopkins, Cooper, Richfield, and Shakopee.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that in the beginning of the girl\u2019s sports era in the 1970s more areas had some badminton teams. Duluth had four teams: Denfeld; East (both of which still exist as schools) and Central and Cathedral (which are no longer in business). The Denfeld Hunters won the city tournament there in April 1976. Prior to the start of the girl\u2019s interscholastic era individuals from White Bear Lake competed in the April 1972 State Badminton tournament at Augsburg. The then Valley Conference held a badminton tournament in March 1974 with Orono, St. Anthony, Chaska, Shakopee and Golden Valley. GV is now part of the Hopkins district.<\/p>\n<p>Even boys played on Minneapolis teams in the late 1970s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE ROAD AHEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Edina has the longest winning streak going now at 48 after two wins last week over Humboldt and Park Center, both 7-0 sweeps. They now have the second longest win streak. Still they trail Johnson\u2019s 75 mark from 2016-2019. The Governors also own the longest win streak with 75 wins from 2016 to 2019. Humboldt on Monday at home will have the first crack at trying to stop that streak. The Hornets would move to 48 wins with that win and on April first with Park Center paying a visit. They will need 27 more wins to match that mark. That won\u2019t happen this year. The Hornets will be facing stiff competition with #1 Johnson and #2 Harding in April.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights on the schedule this week Edina seeing undefeated Burnsville and Eden Prairie on Tuesday and Wednesday. Unbeaten Washburn travels to Roosevelt, who is undefeated in Minneapolis on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Rolling spring break takes St. Paul off the schedule this week. After that all the spring breaks should be over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNDEFEATED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We lost one team (then #1 Harding fell to #3 Johnson); we lost one singles (#1 Gao Zhia Vue of Harding fell to #2 Amanda Her of Johnson); we lost one second singles (Amelia Her of Johnson lost to Paige Xiong of Harding). The landscape should see more teams and individuals fall this week as unbeatens face each other in Suburban battles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TEAMS<\/strong>: 4 Washburn, Edina, Eden Prairie, and
