For most scholastic players in the Portland area the Winter Classic is the starting line for the Road To Seaside. 135 players came from all over to play in this annual event. Trophies were given out to the top two teams in each section and the top four individuals in each section. Medals were given to 5th, 6th and sportsmanship in each section. Daniel Fan was the player that received the most praise rising up to play in the Open 1200+ section to even out the Kings at 10 players. The top cash prize in the Kings Open went to Clemen Deng with a perfect score, edging out Dimitri Murphy and younger brother Leo who place 3rd. This added up to a total of 83 awards for this OSCF State Championship Qualifier!
With the addition of the team trophies the other new attraction to this year’s tournament was a competitive and fun All Girls Section-The Queens.
