The Zone IV Badminton Championships took place Wednesday night in Carman. The evening saw Portage high school athlete Justice Bryson compete in the girls singles. Bryson has been playing badminton in all four years of her high school career. She played very well through round robin and in the playoff but it was a rough game in the final. Bryson lost that match and finished second. 

 The second place finish however qualified her for provincials May 4th and 5th in Brandon. She says she doesn't know what to expect heading into that tournament as she has never played the girls from the other zones before. Bryson adds she is looking forward to it and is excited about the challenge.
