Madden21 (PS4)
Owen Rowe, a PHS senior, has earned a ticket to the Arkansas AAA Madden21 Esports Championship game next Thursday after last night's win against Jonesboro. Owen finished tied for 2nd place at the end of the regular season (6-1) and was placed as the 3 seed in the State Playoff bracket.
He faces the 1 seed from Cabot HS next week. You can see his Playoff bracket below. They only took the Top 16 teams.
In Esports, there are no conferences. Schools of all sizes play one another. Owen has defeated schools like Southside and Northside (Fort Smith), Cabot, Mineral Springs, Mena, and Jonesboro.
League of Legends (PC)
Our League of Legends team also made it to the State Playoffs this year after ranking #14 in the state after the regular season with a record of 10-4. They fell short in the first round losing to the Northside Grizzlies. The state playoffs for League of Legends takes the top 32 teams in the state. There were over 70 Varsity Teams this season in Arkansas. Redskin Esports League of Legends have made the state playoffs 6 consecutive seasons. That is every season since our program began. This team is young and has several more years together. We have several more 7th and 8th graders coming up as well.
League of Legends is a 5v5 team based multiplayer strategy game.
