Anon: It was neck and neck in the HS. IS318 was tied with Solomon Schechter going into round 6. By that round there were no more head to head encounters. Schechter scored one more win in the last round to edge out IS 318. The two schools have gone at it a lot over the last few years. Always comes down to the last round, and has gone both ways. A very exciting weekend.

I'm impressed by that fact that IS318 has enough depth to field a very strong team in the high school division. 1 point away from a clean sweep in elementary through HS. I guess the primary folks should be happy you're not K-8 school!
