Article on The All City Chess Club

Kings In This Game of Pawns and Knights  The All City Chess Club have won 7 games straight... At the moment it doesnt look like any team can stop this Palmer highschool based Roundball team. This past Friday nights battle was another intense battle between the Wildcats and The All City Chess Club. The A.C.C.C's last win against the Wildcats was very controversial whereby what seemed to be a foul at the end of the game was not called and the All City Chess Club went on to win the game. Having said all that, this week's game was even more insaine. Roundball has seen alot of different problems over the course of our four years in running recreational sports....We have seen everything from men in Surrey directly cursing out our referees to players ripping their shirt off and storming off the court at the end of games...We have even had to suspend players for disorderly conduct to our staff....But this week was our first FIST FIGHT. Having said that, we dont promote violence in our leagues and are happy to say everything was controlled efficiently. Fortunitely our Referee Ron Calizon did not throw out any players nor give out any technicals. Probably because the city of Richmond has had the better Roundball track record compared to that of Surrey BC and most often Richmond has represented the Roundball program with the utmost respect. All in all, I believe it is fair to say that the All City Chess Club and the Wildcats hate each other. Nevertheless every game between the squads have been nothing less than spectacular and the next time they play we might just have to have security on hand. (Maybe Derek and Jerome or something)  The point is that the ACCC have been owning the men's season thus far. However statistically speaking over the course of the past 4 years NO number one seeded Roundball team at the end of regular season play has ever gone on to win the Roundball Championship. YES every number one seeded team has flopped and lost in either the semi final game or in the championship. And it may happen again, seeing as how close our games have been in recent weeks. However, All credit due to the ACCC for their dominance thus far... Someone stop them please.
