Crossroads Wins Red Rook Tournament
Congratulations to our middle schoolers for winning the Red Rook Tournament. Our team of Harbor Wolff, Ben Clair, Russell Bigham, and Matthew Ritter finished 6.5 points ahead of the second place team. Harbor and Ben tied for first individually for 7th graders, and Russell finished first among 8th graders. Our second team, consisting of Ernie McCarter, Jacob Plax, Nick Babusis, and Isaac Lake also did quite well. Ernie and Jacob each finished third in the 8th and 7th grade divisions, respectively. Way to go guys! Red Rook awards will be held sometime this winter. I will let you know when it has been scheduled.
