Second grade reviewed vowel teams last week with a game of UFLI Battleship!

Last night the Dr. Lewis S Libby School Chess Team hosted Caravel Middle School for our last meet of the season. Both teams had a number of players out due to illness, with the Milford Chess Team missing both Cobby A. and Sophie G.. Despite being down players, the Milford Chess Team played hard, and while Caravel was able to secure an early points lead, your hometown Wildcats were able to keep up the pressure and took home the win! The final score for the meet was Milford - 32, Caravel - 28.

Some highlights from the meet were…
Braydon M. went 4-0 in his games last night, scoring 8 points and bringing a strong finish to the season
Owen Davis went 3-1, earning the team 6 points and winning a hard game that went all the way to the timer
Alec M. and Enoch O. served as alternates for the meet, but both went 2-1 for their games
Blaze O., Derick R., and Charles L. all won at least 1 game for Milford
Finler M., despite having a severe headache, took home a stalemate for 1 point

It was a great night for Milford, and the Chess Team did a wonderful job closing out their season. The hard work and dedication that the team has put in this season has started to pay off for them, and we are looking forward to another incredible season next year. Great work, Wildcats!
