Springfield High School Esports team places 3rd in state event

“It’s wonderful to see the heart and effort this group has put into playing,” said Esports Head Coach Marc Sharpnack. “They are a very talented team, but also a good group of friends. They are excited about what they have accomplished — but also what is to come.”

The high school’s Esports program is also making plans to expand its team next year after a successful season.

Superintendent Bob Hill said he is proud of the students and coach for how they represent the district and community.

“Placing at the state level their first year in competition is a huge accomplishment, and I am personally excited to see how they will continue to grow Springfield’s program into an Esports powerhouse in Ohio,” he said.
