The HTHS Chess Team participated in the 2nd annual Stockton University High School Chess Tournament on 2/23/19. The tournament provides an opportunity for teams from the Shore HS Chess League to play teams from the South Jersey Chess League.

The Varsity team was represented by Jason Yan, Abhinav Ramidi, Pranav Gaka, Mayank Barad and Hazem Zaky. JV players Andy Zhang and Ben Shain were also able to participate.

The varsity team finished the tournament in a tie with Jackson HS for 1st Place!! The tiebreaker was a 5 vs 5 blitz match where each player gets 5 mins on their clock. High Tech pulled out a 4 to 1 win in the blitz match to win the tournament for the 2nd year in a row!

Congratulations to all for an outstanding performance!!
