Esports:

High School Player of the Week : Sam Neal

Sam was outstanding in MCDS's win over #11 Calvert Hall on Tuesday! As the team's leader he was unfazed by the pressure of our biggest match ever and playing with a different partner. He got the team out to a sizable lead and never looked back in our 20-1 victory!

Middle School Player of the Week: Henry Herington

Henry has continued to make remarkable progress in his second year with the team. In our first match he battled hard through a controller malfunction and nearly defeated our opponents best player. As he continues to improve I am sure he will lead our Middle Schoolers to several victories this year!

Monday: Open Practice All Teams

Tuesday: HS Fortnite vs #5 F.J. Brennan Secondary High School @ 4:PM

Esports:

On Tuesday 9/22 The Fortnite team (Sam Neal & Lucas Bradford) had a dominant win over #11 Calvert Hall 2 sets to zero. We won Set 1: 10-0 and Set 2: 10-1. This was by far the biggest win of our young program's history. Going into next week we will be sharing the #1 ranking in the Eastern Regional and the matches will only get more challenging from here. Our match next week will be against another top 10 team! Make sure you tell the guys great job on their performance!

On Wednesday 9/23 our Smash Brothers team will be playing Logos Online High School at 4:00 pm. They finished 6th in the Mountain Regional last season but transferred to the Eastern Regional with us this year. Our team is featuring a completely new lineup from last year's playoff qualifying team.

( Students Competing: Levi Autry, Noah Pete, Lucas Bradford Alternate: c Sam Neal)

On Thursday 9/24 our Rocket League Team will be playing Reach Cyber Charter School (HS) at 4:00 pm. They finished 5-3 and were 13th in their conference last year but have moved into our Regional. This will be a very competitive game and may be the preview of a playoff game later in the season.

( Students Competing: c Sam Neal, Vance Kirkman, Levi Autry Alternate: Lucas Bradford)

Also on Thursday our Middle School will be competing in their first Smash Brothers Match Ever! Our opponent is still TBD but the match will start at 4:00 pm. The Team will be led by Henry Herrington who is an up and coming player who will be contributing to our High School teams before you know it!
