These are some of the accomplishments from the Chess team. Congratulate them when you see them.


1. 2011 - Second in State (after Eden Prairie). Wes Cannon, Josh Jones and Peter Bertel placed in the top 20 individually.

2. Josh Jones (our 4th or 5th ranked player) – Went to the “Check it Out” tournament for the Mpls. Public schools and was the top player this year.

3. Three time State Champions in the past 6 years. Always placing within the top 4 schools in Minnesota.

4. Multiple individual trophies for Wes Cannon, Will Cannon, Isaiah
Paguyo, Peter Bertel, Connor Robinson, and Josh Jones.

5. National champions in the under 1,600 ratings section in 2007 and 2008. Second place in 2009.

State is on March 31st and April 1st at the Crown Plaza hotel in St. Paul. We are confident that we will place within the top 3 teams.

National Championships are this April 13th, 14th and 15th for the first time ever in Minneapolis at the Hyatt in downtown. Looking forward to State and National championships this year.
