Colene Hoose Elementary Students are gaining a reputation in the game of chess. Chess Club coach Charlie Bates says some students just got back from a national tournament in Pittsburgh. He says the kindergarten/first-grade team finished 3rd place nationally and the fourth and fifth-grade team placed 7th nationally. He also says these students could give some adults a run for their money.
