New Oxford Clinches North Championship

(from Stephen Powell) New Oxford beat Jameswood today 4.5 to 0.5.  Board 3 was the only one who had a draw. 

     Sherando, who was supposed to have shown up to play against N.O. resigned.  Sherando's coach arrived at Jameswood (a little early) expecting his players to be there/be arriving, but none of the Sherando players even arrived (Even by 1 hour after the designated meeting time).  Since his players did not show up, Sherando's coach announced his team's resignation.  This was disappointing, since N.O. had been told that Sherando would be bringing 5 players.

     All that is left for New Oxford is a final match against Gettysburg.  However, with a current score of 5, 1, 1, New Oxford has a solid first place in the league, regardless of the result of the upcoming Getty. match.

         Thanks!  We won our last match against Gettysburg (3-2) giving us a final score of 6-1-1. 

         Unfortunately, it does not look like anyone from N.O. will be going to states :(  Our school won't pay to send us, and I think I would be the only one willing to pay... but N.O. would have no chance with me as the only player.  Plus, Seth is coming home that day... kinda want to see him while he is here. 

         I will be posting something in my blog sometime, but the final tournament went well for New Oxford as well.  We grabbed 4th, 2nd, and 1st in reserve.  Also, we won 1st in Open.

    Edit:  We are going to States thanks to Mr. Dewease!
