Huge congratulations to PD, Chesley, the two girls from Sandburg, Ian, Conway, Matt McCambridge, Sarah (great job on breaking! Great way to finish off your career!), Barrington as a whole (I *told* you you’d break four!), and everyone else. With a special congratulations to Max, for finishing off your career with a break, QF appearance, and a state speaker award.

Congrats to the entire NT crew (Chris for getting second seed, Matt McCambridge for getting to quarters and most importantly, Mr Chesley for going all the way to finals) for an incredible weekend.
Also, congrats to PD for rocking state this year. Keeping the champ between GBN and NT is always nice.
