Mustangs place 2nd at CFS Regional

For the second straight year our team placed 2nd at the Chess for Success Regional tournament in Sherwood.  This is an amazing accomplishment and I couldn't be more proud of our group.  They played with such pride and dignity and represented Metzger well!  Congratulations must also go out to Ethan, Lucas, and Sam for each scoring 4 points out of 5 to earn a trip to the State Finals at the Convention Center in Portland March 16th.
