This team-based event featured five players from each school competing against the top five players from opposing teams in every round. GLOBE faced a tough start, losing the first round 0–5. Despite the early setback, Coach Thomas encouraged the team to stay focused, noting they had likely faced one of the strongest teams in the state.
The team responded with determination, winning their next three rounds and finishing with a 3–2 record. Their resilience and teamwork secured them the 6th-place team trophy.
Team members included Preet Patel, Leo Jordan, Connor Asay, Dean Samali, Mason Hatfield, Jackson Timberlake, and Kyan Grant and their Coach is Thomas Harris. Every player contributed to the team’s success, demonstrating strong effort and sportsmanship throughout the tournament and we are very proud of their hard work. The future looks bright for the chess program at GLOBE!
