EDEN PRAIRIE 6, WASHBURN 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

After two years of no badminton out & abouts I have returned. This should be somewhat of a return to the olden days of 2019 and before. So why this game? Two important reasons: the individual portion of the state tournament is to be held at Eden Prairie and I wanted to refamiliarize myself with the court lay out; and I needed to converse with coach Sampson of Washburn about the upcoming Minneapolis tournament and their seeding procedures.<\/p>\n

The state tournament of 2021 will not be like the past few years with everyone on all the teams involved. You can blame the virus for that turn of events. That means we are back to the future. Before Burnsville hosted the individual portion of the state tournament, EP was the host. But that was also in the days where the drop flight was not used. This year it will be one and done for both singles and doubles, no B, C or D flights. A total of 62 potential matches will take place. That is down from the 200+ in the two day event in 2019. Since schools will only be permitted one entry for singles and doubles some maneuvering will take place. This is the \u201cFrankenstein\u201d scenario where some players that have been playing singles all year show up for the big day as a doubles pair. Washburn is test driving their concoction with singles players Hannah and Eleanor merging into doubles #1 for the Millers. That experiment worked out in their favor, but it was the Millers\u2019 only victory against the hosts. The Eagles dominated the singles as a result and picked up the final two doubles for their 6-1 victory. EP picked up strength in the singles with a better showing in the second set across the board. The Eagles held their opponents to single digits if five of the eight singles sets. Doubles were much closer with the first doubles the best (or closest) match of the day with each set decided by three points.<\/p>\n

FIRST SINGLES <\/strong><\/p>\n

Thuy-Yen TRAN 2, Elli 0
\n<\/strong>(21-6, 21-6)<\/p>\n

EP\u2019s Thuy-Yen Tran finished strong in both sets to beat Elli in two. Washburn\u2019s Elli has been moved to the number one position with the former singles one and two now at first doubles. Tran took advantage of the one v three match up with big advantages in service points (32-3), winners (25-1) and points after 11 (20-2). Tran\u2019s favorite winner was the smash with 15 points (.600). This is because the bird held up in the air too often. Both sets were completed in a fraction above eleven minutes.<\/p>\n

Tran is now 3-8 on the year. This was her first two set win of the season. Elli is 4-1 according to my records, but this was the first time as first singles.<\/p>\n
