Joshua Mu Takes 3rd Place
in Nationals
Nashville,
TN 5-10-03: Hundreds of scholastic players from
all over the United States journied
to the "music city" in order to participate in the National Scholastic
Championships this past weekend. After 6 rounds of competition in the "K-3
Section" CCC future Favorite
Son, 8 year old phenom Joshua Mu was the only player left
with 6-0! Apparently
the distraction of playing on the roped-off center stage table, cameras
clicking and taping, and adversary Parker Zhao 1888 (a 3rd grader)
caused Joshua to stumble in the final round. Still, his 6-1
score was good enough for clear 3rd
Place in the Nation! In addition, his
team, Barringer Academy placed 14th
in the Nation. You have done the CCC proud!
Congratulations to Joshua
Mu!! |
