With the closing of Metcalf and Ribnick relocating the team to Nicollet Middle School, we have decided to use the remaining shirts and glass tumblers with the Metcalf Masters logo on them as a fundraiser for the new Nicollet Knights chess club.
We have limited inventory so make sure to claim your items SOON because once they are gone, they are gone!

Chess doesn’t quite look the same this year for our club members but a new school, new team name and even a new format for playing didn’t stop them from claiming victory at the Winter Open Gradelevel Tournament last Saturday, December 5th!
