A few more highlights from State!

This was really a great event - MSCC brought 18 players to a Statewide tournament that had over 420 players from 89 schools!  The players represented our club very well and we're very proud of them!

As you saw on the last post, we had some great individual & team accomplishments!  We also had some very close misses:

• The strong Bay Lane K8 team of Alyssa, David and Adam just barely missed a team trophy, with only 3 players!  Next year, with a full team, they will be a force.
• On the JV side, Jake and Elena just barely missed the top 10, with strong wins of 4-1/2 and 4 points.
• And for the younger players -  Logan, Nelson, Steven and Elijah, we had some strong wins and, more importantly, some breakthroughs as to the importance of playing slow.  Especially in a tournament like this, where games can last up to 2-3 hours, there is great benefit to having patience and looking at each and every move carefully.  I think the younger players will attest to this being a great tournament, and we look forward to getting more players to the tournament next year so that we can make some teams!
