Valley Exploring E-Sports Club For This Fall
By Staff Report-
Valley would join the Indiana High School E-Sports League (IHSEN).
E-sports describes the world of competitive, organized video gaming. Competitors from different leagues or teams face off in the same games that are popular with at-home gamers: Fortnite, League of Legends, Overwatch, Rocket League, Super Smash Brothers and Madden NFL, to name a few.
IHSEN is a statewide competitive video gaming league with Tippecanoe Valley joining the eighteen schools across the state currently involved: Anderson, Carmel, Clinton Central, Clinton Prairie, Elkhart, Munster, Kankakee Valley, Kokomo , Mississinewa, Munster, Noblesville, Portage, Rossville, Salem, Seeger Memorial, Tipton and Western.
“At Tippecanoe Valley, we are always looking for new ways to provide inspiring opportunities for our students,” said Brandon Kresca, TVHS principal. “We are pleased to announce that Tippecanoe Valley plans to join the Indiana High School E-sports Network and bring an organized E-sports Gaming Club to our school and community. I just feel very strongly that momentum is building in E-sports gaming and this is a way to reach even more of our students.
“I know there will be a great interest for many students to join this club whether or not they participate in athletics, music, and other various extra-curricular activities at Valley. This may give these students a niche, and the hope is it may even help them with career planning and future goals.”
The TVHS E-sports coaches named is Jonathan Tinkey and Nick Deranek.
“I am excited and looking forward to Tippecanoe Valley becoming one of the first schools in our area to bring E-sports to our school. E-sports will open up additional opportunities for our students. The future is bright for this new adventure for Tippecanoe Valley students,” said Tinkey.
TVHS is exploring the possibility of an E-sports kick off this summer or fall camp for all ages. for more information, follow the TVHS Facebook page or contact Tinkey at tinkeyj@ tvsc.k12.in.us.
