The Centralia High School esports team captured a state championship on Friday.
The team, which includes players Charlie Standfield, Uriel Acosta, Brian Norris, Elijah Towne, Zaden Waggner and coach Adrienne Ross, defeated Puyallup in Super Smash Bros. in the finals of the tournament.
“So proud of you all,” the high school stated on Facebook.
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) partners with Playfly Esports and their platform provider, Generation Esports, “to offer WIAA member schools an esports infrastructure solution with a competitive platform, broadcast production and mechanisms to amplify the inherent educational benefits of esports,” according to the WIAA.
