Mill Valley has Strong Showing at Grade Level (updated)

That's Andrew in the front row sporting MV red and white!

Congratulations to:
- All Mill Valley players, Will, Andrew, Joshua, Griffin, Ben and Chris, for playing very well at a difficult tournament, against the strongest players in the state for their grades!
- Andrew H, who took home the 5th place trophy for 4th Grade by going 4-1! Andrew is already a member of the "red division" having won 4 in a 6-game tournament last year.
- Will S, who took home the 6th place medal (just missing trophy) by going 3.5-1.5. Will is now a member of the "red division" (having won 3.5 out of 5).
- Andrew, Chris and Griffin, for taking the 4th place team trophy for Mill Valley!
- Joshua R, who took 2.5 out out 5 in his third tournament
- Ben S, for having the courage to stand alone in 3rd grade and playing well
This year has been a challenge, with not a whole lot of tournament participation... the way kids improve is through 1) at-home practice, 2) tournament participation, and 3) classroom attendance and participation. We have the third one down pretty good, and our showing at the Grade Level shows that we have the potential!
Kudos to the WSCF for a great venue, and a good job organizing and running this large tournament. Also... best. skittles. area. EVER.
This Saturday: Bay Lane... we have 13 kids who have said they are playing! Should be a blast- get in some practice at home before that tournament!!!
