TOPEKA — Holy Family Elementary School’s chess team came from behind in a sixth-round spoiler at Topeka’s Christ the King opening chess season tournament this weekend.
Noah Bruggeman won four games, placing 10th individually in the K-5 division. Jensen Brull also contributed four wins placing 14th overall.
Braydon Binder and Tate Dinkel added three wins apiece at 23rd and 26th place, respectively. All four boys had a sixth round win, which was enough to steal third from Jay Schindeler Academy in a final-round nail-biter.
The Christ the King tournament featured competition from Topeka, Lawrence and the Kansas City areas.
