LANSING, Ill. (March 23, 2022) — While outdoor sports like baseball and softball have struggled to dodge poor weather this week, indoor sports like badminton and volleyball have continued to play on.
The TFS badminton team is not only undefeated in their season, but the team can almost count the amount of individual matches they’ve lost on one hand. This season, for the small, talented group of badminton players, perfection has become the norm.
