Stanwood teen places 12 in world

Josh Ferris, 12, of Stanwood, placed 12 in the Pokemon Video Game World Championship, held last weekend in San Diego.
His parents, Phil and Melissa Ferris, said he won three games and lost two on Friday. The two losses were close, one to the Japanese national champion, and one to the teen who placed third at the world competition.
Josh is looking forward to trying again next year.
