1) Teams:
- Still need work getting full teams together for tournaments - thanks to the parents who have volunteered to help with each school. We'd like to form little groups of friends for each school (and each division) so we have teams of 4 or more for each tournament we play in!
- Muskego High School took the K-12 fairly easily with 18.5 points (possible 24). High scorers were Evan 6, Jason 5, Rachel 4, and Reid and Jake with 3.5 each.
- Lake Denoon K-12 with Jack Bognar, Brian Mark and Elliot Bognar took 5th place with 8 points.
- Lake Denoon K-6 did extremely well, in the running all the way against a tough Brookfield Academy team, ending up in 2nd place. Top finishers: Will Schantz led the way with 4.5, Matthew Redlinger kicked in 4 wins, and Kyle Jain added 3.5 and Aaron Gibbs 2.5 to the effort.
- Bay Lane did great with only 3 players, finishing in 5th place ahead of some teams with 4 or 5 players. Nice job Alyssa Przedwiecki (4), Noah Gover (3) and David Bundy (3)!
- In K-3, we really didn't have any teams. Mill Valley we had two players who both did EXTREMELY well- Gavin Joers with 4.5(!) and Nelson Klein with 4 wins. With a couple more players, we would have been up towards the top! Tess Corners also had two players compete, Alex Swieszynski (3) and Derek Stathus (2).
2) Individual:
- In K-12, Evan Seghers continued his roll as our top board, going a perfect 6-0 and winning the K-12 division.
- Jason Markowski also did very well, losing only to the tough John Hegelmeyer, going 5-1 and taking 3rd place.
- In K-6 division, Will (4.5), Matthew (4), Alyssa (4) had "red division performances" and Kyle did well again, taking 3.5 points.
- Several strong performances by newcomers in this tournament! Noah Gover took 3 points, David Bundy 3 points (nice recovery!), and Aaron Gibbs and Nick Schuster also did well. In K-3, newcomers Alex Swieszynski (who just got his Blue wrist band) did really well, taking 3, as did Derek Stathus who won 2 games. Keep practicing guys! Great to see you doing so well.
- Gavin Joers took 4.5 in K-3, one of the best performances in K3 this year, and Nelson Klein added 4 wins to his impressive resume.
Great job one and all!! Hope to see many of you at Discovery World this weekend! Still working on calendar for February. We will have a tournament we'll attend!
Just to note. Mill Valley's K-3 team of two people took 5th place. Now we need a couple more MV kids for a bigger team. Next tournament they will both be playing in K-6 for the MSCClub Team.
