State Scholastic Championships Tomorrow

Tomorrow Lukas McCain looks to win his first state title at the high school championships in Orono. His chief competition expects to be Aaron Spencer of John Bapst, but there are many capable contenders to represent Maine at the Denker Tournament at the US Open in early August. Other contenders from eastern Maine include Gabe Borland from Orono, Henry Chai and Andrew Audibert from Bangor, and girls scholastic champion Margaret Bryan of Bapst. There have been many surprises over the years, so it should be an interesting day.

Top contenders for the Jr. High title include Matthew Fishbein of Cape Elizabeth and Paul Rudnicki of All Saints in Bangor. K-6 contenders are Wesley Parker of Cape, Andrew Turner of Deer Isle - Stonington, and Haley Deluca Lowell of Aurora. Also competing at the K-6 level are former K-3 champions Anna Bryan from the Airline School and Bethanny Humphrey of DI -S. At the K-3 level Soozin Cha (DI-S), Max Deluca Lowell (Airline), Brendan Parlee (Stillwater Montessori), and Ritvik Kumaran are all coming to the individual championships fresh off of unbeaten records at the team championships. These favorites will face many other hopefuls over four rounds of Game 60. Good luck to all the competitors!
