Chess Tournament Champions

12 January, 2020

During the Autumn season of 2020, Eric Lafaele hosted a chess tournament. There were participants from all grades, and they all played against each other for the top spot. Included in the participants was Mr. Lafaele himself. Due to the chess games being held during the Study Skills class period, matches took a long time and the tournament moved slowly. However, on January 7th of the new year the final match between Blake Giles and Eric Lafaele was held. Eric Lafaele won the 1st place pedestal; Blake Giles took the 2nd pedestal. The 3rd and 4th places have still not been decided in the loser’s bracket. Congratulations to Mr. Lafaele and Blake!
