21st ANNUAL SMASH BASH DOUBLES TOURNAMENT - September 7, 2013

September 7, AZBC, Mesa...

School is back in session and the local high school badminton season is underway. The SMASH BASH from its origin was designed to expose high school players to higher level tournament action. Not only do they get lots of play in their Varsity and JV divisions, but they also play in the Open Women division and see the Open Men compete. This year's SMASH BASH saw high school players each play 8 - 11 matches with the round-robin Olympic style format!

This year's SMASH BASH Champions... Varsity Girls Doubles: Kiyoko Hashimoto & Vaishnavi Koka; JV Girls Doubles: Karen Guo & Juliette Xiong; Women's Doubles: Kiyoko Hashimoto & Monica Xiong; Men's Doubles: Steve Hashimoto & Bui Hoang.
