The Mid Suburban League acquitted itself well at the IHSA State Tournament this weekend led by a resurgent Barrington team. After a disappointing 3-5, regular season, Barrington went 5-2 to finish 14th in the state led by 3rd Board Vyas Alwar who went 5.5-1.5 to earn the 10th place medal for that board. Also finishing with five points were Prospect at 16th, Buffalo Grove at 18th, and Fremd at 23rd. Close behind was Rolling Meadows at 29th with 4.5-2.5. Hoffman Estates finished 45th with 4-3. Conant and Palatine went 4-3 to finish 83rd and 85th and Schaumburg scored 2.5-4.5.
Placing five teams in the top thirty was the best that the MSL has ever achieved, but the real highlight was Prospect's Robert Moskwa and Buffalo Grove's Matt Wilber taking the 1st and 2nd medals on 1st Board with perfect 7-0 scores. Robert got the nod on tie-breaks because his opponents scored a combined 27-22 in the tournament while Matt's went 24-25. Robert also learned that he has been invited to the Denker Qualifying Tournament at the end of March where he will play in a round robin against Sam Schmakel, Adarsh Jayakumar, Aakash Meduri, and Kent Cen.
