SMCA Conference Standings

After playing 3 of the 7 other schools in our conference, Hartford shows some promise. We had to play the top two teams. Brookfield Academy won the State Championships last year, and New Berlin Eisenhower came in 6th in the state. Muskego was 12th in the state. Hartford was 29th at State, out of 36 teams. Hartford is currently 7th out of 8 teams in the conference with 5 more matches to play.

The fact that Vincent Hesprich drew to two top players on Board 1, and Malachi Hummel won one match on Board 2, is a great victory! The rest of the team fought long and hard as well.

Next SCMA Conference match is Wednesday, January 9, after school at Hartford.
