~Chess Team competed at the Maine State 

Scholastic Chess Championship in Orono on Saturday

and placed 7th out of 14. An impressive showing 

for the conclusion of our first fully competitive

chess season. BEMS has grown to be the 

largest Championship team in the State, and 

as expected our students did our school proud. 

6th grader Maximilian Matthews competed at 

the high school level to complete our high 

school team, and went 1 and 3, gaining a 

point for our high school team which faced 

some very tough opposition against Brewer, 

Westbrook, John Bapst, and Maine School

of Science and Mathematics. 8th graders Ethan 

Freeman, Justin Wadsworth, Jace Sellick

and Anthony Johnson we're joined by 7th grader 

Nicholas Freeman with a 2 and 2 record for the day.

Veronica Shore (8th), Maia Kane (7th), and 

Jace Anastacio (6th) each won one and 

tied one for a record of 1-2-1.

8th graders Cameron Boston and Tanis Hartery, 

and 6th grader Kaiden Tillman each one

 one game, going 1 and 3.

6th grader Finley Whiting drew the Short straw, 

facing stronger opponents in all of his game for 0 and 4,

but reports the lessons he learned from his 

losses will help him do better in his future games.
