Exalt Academy's Middle School Chess Team, 1A-3A Regional Champions
Checkmate! The Exalt Academy Middle School Chess Team competed in North Little Rock for the Regional Championships. After a lot of hard work and strategic and tactical thinking, they brought back a trophy! That's right, ladies and gentlemen. The Eagles are the 1A-3A Regional Champions!
As a special note, Guillermo Matias went on to become the only junior high player in the entire tournament to make it through his matches undefeated. His score was 5-0 for the series. From this point forward, he has the distinction of being Exalt Academy's first Honorary Chess Grandmaster!
Congratulations to the Chess Team for their hard work!
