32 players in three sections competed in this month’s K-8 Scholastic Championships.  As usual, there were many exciting encounters, examples of excellent sportsmanship and hard fought games.  Our Kindergarten through 8th grade section continues to grow with 12 participants this month.  Katherine Du managed to squeak out a win by half a point ahead of three other competitors.
