@guha_bala Please bring Knockout City game back! That is a perfect esports title for the K12 scholastic space. Everyone understands it, students love it, and no game knowledge barrier for the audience, admin, or parents. @EsportsOklahoma will run it for 4-12th grade students!

I was just as happy watching my student Parker doing shoutcasting for games today. @ImOmegaRho was amazing working with him, too!

@EsportsOklahoma had a whopping 160 teams competing in our Scissortail division (Class 2A and down) in Fortnite 2v2 Box Fights. At the end of the day, only Laverne was left standing as the champion! After 2 straight years of state runner up in fortnite, this duo finally did it!

The Laverne Tigers Esports showing up on a billboard an hour and half away from home in another town. We spotted it coming back from a track meet. So awesome! @EsportsOklahoma

[Mike Shipley @oumike23]

When you show interest and invest in what students are interested in, it is amazing how much they want to make it better for the next group of students. I have esports students volunteering to paint walls for our esports arena remodel. @OklaEd @EsportsOklahoma

Laverne HS Esports made Spring State Playoffs in OW (8-1 and 1 seed), Fortnite 2v2 Box Fights (9-0 and 3 seed), Rocket League Duos (8-1 and 3 seed), Chess 5-1/top 16, and Mario Kart/top 16.

@MoogDiesel Nice! They definitely found a good one to talk with, that is for sure!

[Mike Shipley @oumike23]

One of my STEM class projects were to make playing card holders and we donated them to Parkview Pointe here in Laverne. We hope the residents will enjoy using them to play games, while possibly allowing even more to play that might not have been able to previously. #oklaed
