CPS CHAMPIONSHIP - RKNIGHTS

The night before the CPS Championship, throughout Chicago, snow, snow & more snow fell through the evening, & we had calls of concerned inquiries whether the tournament was canceled. The early morning drive was treacherous from the NW suburbs, but we kept our ‘eyes on the prize’ (a great day, for the 170 CPS students from 37 schools, their parents & coaches), with great hope they would all brave the weather conditions for this spectacular event held at Martin Luther King High School. To our delight almost all the students attended, & the CPS director, 15 of RKNIGHTS staff, the MLK HS engineer, in addition the Sun Times & Fox News, which helped make it a fabulous day.
Congratulations to all the winners !
