Final Matches at Heritage
The final matches of the Junior High Chess League will be held after school in the Heritage cafeteria.
Heritage will play Friendly Hills (whom we lost to 2-3) and Faithful Shepherd (whom we beat 4-1).
I think if we can beat Friendly Hills and win a total of 7 games, we'll finish just behind Metcalf's teams. Can we bring back the ISD197 trophy!
Although this is the end of the Junior High League competition, there are other competitions coming up soon!
I've included 3 from the first session who are still interested
