(not pictured: Josh Bartz, Jacob Gomoll)Congratulations to the LDMS Knights, who took first place in the K-9 Division of the 40th Annual Badger Open this weekend. It was a well-run tournament by the WSCA.
Playing for the Knights were Evan and Reid Seghers, Rachel and Jake Gomoll, Chris Tillson and Josh Bartz. Evan Seghers took first place overall by going 6-0. Reid Seghers took second place by going 5-1. Chris Tillson took 10th place overall. Josh had a strong win over a 900+ player we face often. Rachel and Jake played hard with some great moves. It was a good learning experience for everybody.
In general, everybody admitted we were a bit rusty, from the Summer! Evan was going to play Open and Reid, Reserve, but we couldnt afford the time for a 2-day tournament. As it was, we needed everybody on board because we were pretty rusty, and we had another team who was very tough. Evan and Reid both lost Knights in the opening game to the same player who played a Scandinavian they weren't used to, but ended up winning in the endgame just barely. We are going to try to put Reid and Evan in the Open/USCF divisions wherever possible to allow other team members to step forward. We have several very strong players who are ready to lead the team to the next level- Chris, Rachel, Brian, Jason, Kolton, Zeke, Josh, and others!
