The esports team had a great weekend at state! 👏🏻
-The Minecraft team made it out of pool play and into the semi-final round where they ended up taking 4th place. The only teams ahead of them were Fargo schools and Mandan. They played super well and have a bright future ahead.
-Brayden won his first Super Smash Bros game and then lost in some close games after that. It was a great first time appearance at state for him.
-Both Rocket League teams were in the same pool as the state champions, Grand Forks, and didn't make it to finals.
-The Valorant team lost to a good Minot United team in the first round.
