National School Scrabble Champions

It’s rare that younger kids get to defeat older ones in any type of competition, and tournament SCRABBLE is no different. Yet that was the scenario today at the 7th annual National School SCRABBLE Championship as 11-year-old Andy Hoang (left) and 11-year-old Erik Salgado of Cary, NC overcame a more experienced field to win the $10,000 first prize. Among the words played in the 342-301 final match were: EARNERS, QI (a Chinese life force) and GIE (to give). Team is pictured in front of the world’s largest SCRABBLE board.
