Waxahachie Chess Team competes in State Tournament

Three students from the Waxahachie campus finished in the top 25 at the State Chess tournament in Austin on Saturday, February 9. The tournament was held in the State Capitol building with 12 high school teams and 46 individuals participating.

Two teams represented the Waxahachie campus with the B team finishing seventh and the A team finishing twelfth. This was the school’s first year to have a chess team.

“We are very proud of these two young teams who made it to state their first year,” said Jeff Creel, campus administrator for Waxahachie. 

Congratulations to these students on this wonderful achievement!
