PS9 Tournament (April 14, 2002)
Reported by Joseph Shepard

Rob Young's tournament was held at PS9. It was a great tournament .Many of the kids and parents I spoke had a wonderful time. There were as many as 120-130 kids entered in the tournament. They had 5 sections for the players: K to 1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8 and the Open, which was the strongest.

PS 9 school made a strong showing in the standings, which may help the school's program, but they weren't number one.
