The Uni High chess team is in second place after defeating Oak Forest, Buffalo Grove, Glenbard South, and Evanston Township in the first four rounds of the IHSA state chess tournament today at the Peoria Civic Center. Five Uni players are in the top 10 of their respective boards: Gordon Ruan (1st place, Board 1), Geoffrey Beck (5th place, Board 3), Greg Atherton (7th place, Board 5), Brian Wang (8th place, Board 6), and Daniel Cheng (1st place, Board 7). Three more rounds will be played Saturday.

Due to a scheduling conflict, senior Ethan Berl was forced to give up his role of Benedick in the spring play, "Much Ado About Nothing," causing director Barbara Ridenour to release a revised cast list. Check inside to see the changes made.
