150 varsity players and scores of other JV players converged at Meadowdale High School for what is known as "The Big Dance" in high school chess circles, the final event of the season, the State Team Championships. Extreme heavyweights Interlake and Lakeside were favored to win, with average ratings on their teams of five around 1800. When paired with each other in the semifinals, it was a dead tie, 2.5 - 2.5. When the two days of chess were over, Lakeside emerged with more wins and claimed the title of State Champions.
Northwest League champs Lynden played a tough schedule and captured the 10th place trophy. Congratulations Lions! Here's the Northwest team results:
