Congratulations to Cameron Pierce - Athlete of the Month

We want to congratulate our eSports team as they defeated Nelson County on Tuesday.

The team was led by Cameron Pierce as he had the most victories in the match with 13. 

Cameron Pierce positioned himself behind Nelson County and destroyed their base while his teammates distracted the enemy team. 

It was a great play and very exciting to watch!

Congratulation to Jordyn Straub - Artist of the Month
