The Neenah chess team journeyed to Nekoosa on Saturday to participate in the first three rounds of the Northeastern Wisconsin Chess Association 2014-15 season. After graduating all of its members from the State Championship team in June, the new-look Red team was seeking to prove it is worthy of its predecessor. With much of the season still to play, the Red team had a statement day, winning all three matches. The players on boards 3, 4, and 5 combined for 8 wins and 1 draw, contributing in no small part to the team's success. The red team holds the narrowest possible lead of .5 tiebreaker points over undefeated Waupaca. The two top teams will meet in Waupaca on January 10th.
Neenah's white team, whose roster is comprised mostly of players who were competing in varsity for the first time, was 0-3 for the day despite several strong individual games. Neenah's Junior Varsity team features players from Neenah High School as well as a large contingent from both Horace Mann and Shattuck middle schools. The JV team finished in third place for the day behind Big Falls (second) and Waupaca (first).
