It's in the Cards for Bradley Denis

"Whiz Kids" is a weekly column featuring individual kids, youth groups, teens, and even teams, who wow us with their accomplishments. This week, we feature Bradley Denis, who proves that being a card shark can have nothing to do with diamonds, clubs and aces.

Bradley Denis, 10

Accomplishment: Bradley put his Pokémon trading card skills to the test on Saturday, April 16 during the Play! Pokémon Trading Card Game Regional (TCG) Tournament in Natick. After a full day of battling many fellow Pokémon TGC players, Bradley placed third.

Keys to Awesomeness: Bradley had to use keen wits and quick thinking to succeed at an intellectual competition. He displayed his Pokémon skills, strategy, and creativity.
