Location

I am blogging about my experience at the badminton state tournmant from this weekend. When I was there, I was looking at the various teams school names. I realized that every single team was from northern Illinois. For this competition to be the "State" tournament, you would think there would be teams from all over the state. A strange example is my teammates played their semi-final game against buffalo grove. So we had to travel 4 hours to play a team that is 10 minutes away from Stevenson. I guess this means that badminton is acutally only located in northern Illinois. There has to be some sort of sociological explaination to this why badminton is only played around here. Why arent there teams in southern Illinois? It just doenst make much sense to me.
