Young and Old Unite, Transcending Self On October 14, 112th year, the highly anticipated Chiayi City Elementary and Junior High School Badminton Tournament took place at Sing Chia Elementary School. The badminton team from Hsing Hwa High School secured a gold medal in the junior high school boys' team event. This achievement marked a promising start for the first-year members and a perfect conclusion for the third-year members. Today, our reporter had the privilege of interviewing these seven young heroes of different ages, ready to reveal their journey and the thrilling competition process. As widely known, the badminton team competition follows a format of 5 matches with a 3-win system: three singles and two doubles matches, with the first team to win three matches declared the winner. One of the third-year members expressed that he felt the greatest pressure, being a senior in the third year. He played in both singles and doubles, responsible for securing two points. Apart from adjusting his own mindset, he had to strategize how to score at every moment of the game, and if there was an error, he had to quickly regain composure. Living up to expectations, he successfully secured two points for the team, truly a hero. Additionally, the second-year players shared that upon realizing the strength of their opponents, they felt nervous and even somewhat disheartened. However, when they stepped onto the court, they realized their own capabilities were not to be underestimated, and facing emotionally unstable opponents gave them the opportunity for victory. In the first four matches, Hsing Hwa High School and Pei Shin Public Junior High School each won two points, making the last singles match the decisive factor. The player responsible for the final match mentioned in the interview that he felt considerable pressure, as losing this match would mean the entire badminton team losing the team competition. This led to him not fully showcasing his true abilities in the first game, resulting in a defeat. However, before the start of the second game, he adjusted his mindset and entered with a determination to win, successfully defeating his opponent in the next two games. The significance of this match goes beyond deciding the final victory between the two schools; for this player, it added a vibrant stroke to his badminton career. In the end, Hsing Hwa High School narrowly defeated Pei Shin Public Junior High School with a score of 3:2. All team members demonstrated the spirit of teamwork and the virtue of never giving up. After the game, they conducted a comprehensive review and prepared for improvement, hoping to continue achieving good results in the next competition. Hsing Hwa High School's badminton team is not a specialized sports class, yet under limited resources, they managed to defeat the strong Pei Shin Public Junior High School. This undoubtedly stands as a supreme honor for Hsing Hwa High School's boys' badminton team. With this, we conclude our report. Thank you for reading. Our reporter wishes all the team members the courage to pursue their dreams in the future and to never give up easily. reporter:HSIEH,YI-TONG
