13-year-olds win Scrabble championship in Orlando

From 13News: 13-year-olds win Scrabble championship in Orlando
ORLANDO -- They are a little bit taller and their voices are a little bit deeper from when they won the 2009 National School Scrabble Championship as 10 year-olds. But their way with words remained the same as Andy Hoang and Erik Salgado captured the 2012 National School Scrabble Championship in Orlando.

The pair bested Thomas Draper and Nicholas Vasquez from Millburn, NJ in a close final 422-376.

Among the words played in the final game were CUIF, AGEE, WARTY, AND STANINES. The annual event featured 150 of the top scholastic Scrabble experts from all over the US and Canada.
