Jorge Sammour Hasbun wins Game of the Year!
 
  After a fantastic rookie season which saw Sammour-Hasbun make the first all star team for Board 2, win Rookie of the Year Honors, and lead his team to the USCL Final, he now adds Game of the Year to his accolades.

   The game was from the USCL Final and although Boston ended up losing in the tiebreak, it was through no fault of Jorge who did his best to keep the Boston Blitz hopes alive. His opponent, 2nd Team All Star IM Davorin Kuljsevic, should also be commended for his part in this game. He gave Jorge everything he got, and most observers thought he had the better chances for a large part of the battle.

  Congratulations to Jorge Sammour Hasbun, who will win a $1000 prize for his efforts. IM Drasko Boskovic will win the 2nd place prize of $500 for his SemiFinal victory over League MVP, GM Julio Becerra. Congratulations to all of the Game of the Year Prize Winners. Stay tuned to the USCL website as the 2008 Schedule will be released shortly.
