Just like Uncle Jason

Sometime back around Christmas Logan asked to start playing chess. He got a chess set from the Walks and joined the Lake Marion chess club this spring. This weekend he played in his first tournament - we had no idea what to expect. There were 18 1st graders and he came in 5th place! He was so excited to get a trophy. He was even more excited b/c Lake Marion got the 2nd place team trophy out of 23 elementary schools. The trophy has a place for their picture and it will go in the trophy case at school. Logan's great buddy Zach (vikings jersey) is unbelievable! He has played the last 2 Twin Cities tournaments and has not lost a match yet (12 straight wins). Zach is a great role model for Logan - he is an incredible student and great athlete. It has helped Logan try harder and harder "to be like Zach." Sometimes peer pressure is a good thing.
