Secondary school athletes from Chapleau, Wawa Geraldton, Marathon, Manitouwadge, Terrace Bay and Schreiber gathered in Marathon, Ontario April 14^th, 2010 to face off for the Northshore Secondary School Athletic Association (NSSSAA) Badminton Championships.  Playing in Junior and Senior; Girls Singles, Boys Singles, Girls Doubles and Mixed Doubles categories the young stars played hard right through to their last games keeping fans at the end of their seats. Juniors faced at Margaret Twomey Public School while seniors played at Marathon High School.  End of day standings for the senior team.

 The organizing coach commented to me that the 2010 NSSSAA Badminton Finals had been very sportsman like with little or no issues in regards to calls made, angry behaviour or any of the other issues sometimes seen at Badminton.  Hoping those who qualified will take this spirit with them as they continue on to NWOSSAA in Atikoken.

Congratulations to all the athletes who exemplified sportsmanlike behaviour!

I had been promised score sheets from both junior and senior play but have yet to receive them, once I do, they will be posted here along with additional video from the senior finals.
