Over 90 players showed up for the Veterans Day Scholastic at Washington Middle School on November 11th. In the High School section, Evan Zheng took 1st place and also led the McKinley High team to overall team 1st.

The Novice Section was won by Kahala Elementary School 4th grader Sumart Kabbur, who like Evan, won all of his games for a perfect six out of six. Mahalo to all who made it out and congrats to the winners! Links to tournament results are below:
