The Lexington High School Chess Team competed in a regional tournament in Asheboro this weekend against players of all ages from around the area. The following players competed: Nico Reyes, Charles Milam, Daniel Owens, Karran Harold, Karan Deocharran, and Mr. Plaster. Mr. Plaster and Charles each earned one victory, and Nico won two of his three games. Mr. Plaster and Nico also earned official rankings, but both lost to the same player who was rated over 1400.
The Chess club meets Tuesday and Thursdays in Room 15 on the blue hall. It is free to join, but there are sometimes fees to compete in tournaments. The team is preparing to compete in the state championship in March.
