The Cloverdale Eagles Track and Field season recently concluded. The regular season meets have all been non-scoring, but if they had been scored, the girls’ team would be undefeated as Shaylee Stotts has won every 100 meter, 200 meter and 400 meter in each event.

That the sport of badminton is again being played in high school gyms around the area is due in large measure to the efforts of Scott Bischof. A former competitor and founder of the World Badminton Museum, he introduced the sport at several schools including Healdsburg.

"Our last event as a team will be a team dinner May 22 at the local Healdsburg Bollywood restaurant," said Stan Bischof. "Since we have many seniors, next year will be a recruiting year. I will host open badminton sessions at Healdsburg High for current and incoming students who are perhaps interested in badminton."

The Lady Eagles varsity softball squad retained the top spot in the NCL-1 standings last week with lopsided wins over Kelseyville (14-0), Fort Bragg (11-1) and Willits (12-1).

The irregular thwack-thwop-pop of tennis rises up from the high school courts every afternoon of the week, and often on weekends, as the student-athletes of Healdsburg High School hone their serves, returns, backspins and lobs. It seems worth the while: The school’s boys tennis team is definitely competitive this year.

“Healdsburg Varsity Boys is in a great position to qualify as a team for the CIF State Championship this year, especially after beating Convent & Stuart Hall at the Artichoke Invitational,” said coach Kate Guthrie, herself a former all-American.
