Here's an update from the rest of the season:
CM Esports had a great first season. They competed in the NFHS recognized league PlayVS for their Fall season. They faced off against teams from all across the East Coast in Splatoon 3, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart, and Rocket League. They had two notable local victories against Upper Saint Clair in Smash Bros and Rocket League. A bunch of teams qualified for Playoffs which will be starting after Thanksgiving Break.
In Splatoon they fielded three teams:
- The White Team was led by Connor Francken, Christopher Thomas, Zoey Depsky, and Sam Weir. They finished the regular season with a 6-2 record and are ranked 32nd on the East Coast out of 210 schools. They will be heading to the playoffs!
- The Gold Team was led by Ethan Bukovinsky, Jessica Jost, Noel Eckles, and Lynn Siders. They finished the regular season with a 5-3 record and are ranked 43rd on the East Coast out of 210 schools. They will also be heading to the playoffs!
- The Blue Team was led by Leighton Smith, Vee Steele, Sami Corbin, and Armin Rejaie. They finished the regular season with a 5-3 record and are ranked 44th on the East Coast out of 210 schools. They would also be heading to the playoffs, but PlayVS only takes the top 2 teams from each school.
