    Pictures From the Event

    Ms. Betty (President of the James Lewis Education and Tennis Foundation, Inc. who sponsored our event!), along with Coach Brennan, and Coach Jeff 

    Picture of the players!

    A picture of all of our competitors who all fought valiantly! 

    Washington K-8 won 18-6 led by MVP Juan Zayas and Devon Thomas who were undefeated! Also pictured is Dr. Ishman, Principal of Washington K-8, whose strong advocacy for chess is unmatched!

    War amongst the students!

    The students displayed astute, serious focus within the hostile war of their minds! Coach Spoor and Byrd encourage their students nearby to fight on!

    Coach Jeff couldn't be more proud of his students along with Mr. Greene, our teacher sponsor, and ambassador for chess at Washington K-8!
