A lot of individuals with previous championship experience stood proud on stage at Braddock on Tuesday afternoon during the GMAC badminton tournament.
The team trophy went to someone new, however.
Led by its doubles teams and an outstanding overall effort, Southwest Miami emerged with the county title after doubling the score of all other teams, including runner-up and previous champion Palmetto.
The Eagles won what is believed to be their first GMAC title in over two decades.
