The badminton court experienced what can best be described as a bloodbath through a Badminton showdown on September 14, 2025 at STS Tabuk where the four houses entered into a contest of nerve-racking matches.
In the boysโ singles Bracket A, Lance Dagohoy of Gryffindor set the tone early, blanking Slytherin with a merciless 21โ0 opener in the early rounds before going on to dismantle Ravenclaw within no time, playing like a surgeon and sealing the match in straight games, 21โ18, 21โ16, 21โ5.
Bracket B was no different: Adrian Baguiyon of Gryffindor ran through Hufflepuff, 21-15, 21-11, 21-12, proving their worth across every inch of the court, from baseline to net. Then came the game of doubles, which nearly stole the spotlight and gave Ravenclaw an upset opportunity. The gym was rattling, point for point, in that first game, with Gryffindor poised and plucking the nail-biter at 21-20 and cruising to a second game win, 21-10. A statement sweep, emphasizing total dominance from Gryffindor in the boys' division.
The girls' matches did bring Hufflepuff and Slytherin into focus. In Bracket A, Zhamira Pannogan of Hufflepuff rolled to a gritty 21-16 win in the opener, whereas Slytherin retaliated after regrouping and stormed back, overtaking momentum with twin victories of 21-9 and 21-13 to complete the comeback.
In Bracket B, Shamcey Bommogas of Hufflepuff made merry and swept Ravenclaw with back-to-back set wins, 21-15, 21-17, with a scintillating net attack supported by grueling rallies. Slytherin unleashed their artillery in the doubles bout. Against Gryffindor, they simply swept through with a 21-10, 21-19, 21-17 whitewash, filled with smashes and tight defense which crushed their opponent's hopes of a comeback.
Every rally had its own story-whether it was Gryffindor's fiery shutouts, Hufflepuff's will to survive, Ravenclaw almost bringing them down, or the Slytherin masterclass in doubles. With every smash, the cheers grew louder; with every near miss, the gasps got sharper. The finals became far more than just a scoreboard filled with instances of 21s against teens. It was an arena displaying heart, hustle, and house pride.
