I had the opportunity to watch the Metcalf Junior High School Chess Team in action on Saturday and Sunday. They are participating in a tournament at the Crown Plaza in Saint Paul. The impressive feature of this event is that you will see people of all ages playing. The students at this school have a strong tradition of winning and have received numerous awards over the years. It was a pleasure meeting with the students, their families, and the coaches. The dedication of all contributes to the remarkable achievements. Coach Ribnick has been with this program for almost three decades.
