Frank Love wins 2nd Place in the Northshore School District

On Saturday March 9th, 27 students represented Frank Love at the Shelton View Chess tournament.  This is a new record number of students ever to represent Frank Love at a single tournament.  Amazing!  The Shelton View tournament is only available to Northshore school distrcit students.  150 students from all over the district were present.  For 4 students from Frank Love, it was their first time ever competing in a chess tournament.  We are so proud to have Cody W., Ian, Monserrat and Sam as part of the team.  They had some good wins, tough matches and finished just a few points shy of qualifying for the state tournament.
 
 
We are also proud to have Aidan L., Aidan W., Caid, Cody M., Cole, Drew, Elliott, Ethan, Josh, and Liam R. compete on the Frank Love team.  Like the first time tournament goers, they played strong games against fierce competitors and came up shy of the 3 points needed to qualify for state this time.
