Anaheim Canyon’s Howard Shu, pictured, didn’t need a lot of time to win his third consecutive Southern Section-Toyota boys’ singles title.

Shu, a junior, needed fewer than 20 minutes to beat Fountain Valley’s Eric Kuo, 15-5, 15-7, in the finals at the Orange County Badminton Club. Shu, the top-seeded player, did not lose a game all day.

After the match Kuo, a junior and the third-seeded player, was in good spirits and kept saying to anyone who would listen that Howard was at ‘full-power’ for their match.
