CHESS TEAM This past weekend, the RB Chess Team competed at the IHSA State Championship Tournament for the 19th consecutive year. Led by senior captains David Gugliciello and Nate Smolarek, the Bulldogs went 3 and 4 and finished in 69th place out of 128 teams, which was 21 places higher than their original seed.
The Bulldogs played a brutal schedule, with six of their seven matches against higher ranked opponents. They upset #26 Wheaton North and #53 Chicago Kelly and lost a heartbreaker to #41 Rockford 35-33.
David had four wins and a draw and just missed All-State honors, as did sophomore Dalton Campbell who had five wins. Nate added two wins and a draw and Sophomore Alex Perez had three big wins. Freshman Jayden Le had the match winning draw against Kelly!
Congratulations on a great season!
