Zane Trace is a member of an Esports league called Esports Ohio. We are trying to gauge interest in organizing a team to compete in this league. This league will only be for high school students and will compete during the fall season. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Cahoon or Mr. Foreman. You can also sign up in the high school office. Games that are used for competition are as follows: Smite, Rocket League, Overwatch 1 and 2, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, Fortnite, Valorant, League of Legends, Chess, and Clash Royale. Depending on how many players we have, we may not be able to compete in all available games. Matches are held on Monday through Thursday starting at 4 p.m. There are different games each night, so players will not need to be in attendance unless they are competing in that night's game. Interested students should respond as soon as possible. The final day to register our team is September 15th. Mr. Foreman
