On January 27th, the Mid Suburban Leauge played its annual tournament, and the event produced a large number of surprises. Despite finishing the regular season 4-6, Fremd High School went 4-0 to win the MSL Tournament. Second place was taken by regular season co-champion Barrington with 3.5-.5 after getting clipped for a draw by Conant which finished third at 2.5-1.5. Regular season co-champion Palatine as well as third place finisher Prospect went 2-2 to finish in a four-way tie for fourth in the tournament with Buffalo Grove and Rolling Meadows.
Despite the disappointing team result, Prospect's Tejas Shah, Mike Zwolenik and Parth Patel managed to take top honors on boards 3, 5, and 6. In any case, Prospect may have been a little bit cocky after its regular season finish of 8-2. Its wins over Barrington, Fremd, Hoffman Estates, Rolling Meadows, and Buffalo Grove were all close contests that were within a move or two of going the other way. Hopefully, this will make the players work harder at state.
