Cadets Capture 1st Place in Chess Contest

In a very close match, Fork Union Military Academy's chess team defeated eight other schools in the Tidewater area to capture First Place in the Grafton Open Chess Tournament held Saturday, November 15, 2008. Our four-man team each won three games apiece to gain the victory. The host school, Grafton, placed second with 11 points.

Middle schooler Jesse Jacobson, an eighth grader, helped secure the victory along with upper school teammates Gage Saher, Michael Gaylor, and Albert Yeh.
