DAVAO City's lady shuttlers reaped honors in the just-concluded 7th De Leon's Cup Badminton Tournament held at the BStar Recreation Hall in Digos City over the weekend.
The pair of Karylle Kaye Molina of Talomo National High School (TNHS) and Julia Arendain of Philippine Science High School (PSHS) bagged the gold medal in the girl's doubles C/D division after beating Justine Barasona and Marielle Alvarez of Kidapawan City 31-24, in the championship round.
Molina, who teamed up with Cheska Almazan of Davao Chong Hua High School (DCHHS), settled for silver after bowing to the same Kidapawan City bets 12-21, 19-21, in the finals of the girl's 17 and under doubles division.
"Kino-consider ko po ito na tournament to develop my attitude inside the court and paano po ma-handle yung kaba ko kapag naglalaro sa malalaking tournaments," Molina, a Palarong Pambansa and Batang Pinoy Davao veteran, said.
Molina once won a bronze medal in the Palarong Pambansa and got silver and bronze medals in the Batang Pinoy.
Molina and Alamazan qualified for the Davao Regional Athletic Association Meet 2019.
