WICHITA — The Holy Family chess team took to the road again last weekend at St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School in Wichita. Representing the team at the tournament were Braydon Binder, Noah Bruggeman and Jensen Brull in the K-5 division and Jenna Brull in the K-2 Division.

The boys each had a 4-2 record finishing the day in second place behind St. Francis of Assisi, who had 15 students representing their team. There were eight schools competing for team honors at the tournament. The HFE team faced a late threat against Wichita Independent who entered the sixth and final round tied with HFE with ten wins apiece. The HFE K-5 team, however, distanced themselves from Wichita Independent with a strong sixth-round performance.

In individual results, Braydon Binder finished 11th out of 45 in the K-5 division. Jensen Brull finished in eighth place, and Noah Bruggeman took home the sixth place medal. Jenna Brull competed individually in the K-2 division and finished in 15th place with 2.5 wins, including a hard-fought sixth-round win.
