Results From West Toronto Chess Tournament

The new Monsignor Percy Johnson Catholic Secondary School was the host of the Toronto West Team Chess Championship for Elementary Schools. Close to 200 students from Grades 1-8 filled the halls, theatre and library of the state-of-the-art building to battle each other in the classic game of strategy and concentration. Many students were awed not only by the idea of being in a high school, but also by the size of the tournament: 14 schools, divided into 38 divisional teams vying for the title of champion. The results,after up to five hours of non-stop competition were:

Primary Division: 1. St. Demetrius 2. Father Serra
Junior Division: 1. St. Demetrius 2. Cardinal Slipyj
Intermediate Division 1. St. Leo 2. St. Benedict

Monsignor Johnson looks forward to hosting again next year!
