Gamers Host Invitational

Hello Tiger Nation,

We are excited to share an exciting milestone for our Tiger Esports program! On January 15th, we proudly hosted the Fort Scott Esports Invitational, marking the first invitational event in Tiger Esports history. Competing teams included Fort Scott Varsity and JV, Girard, Iola, and Northeast Arma.

Our Tigers delivered an outstanding performance across the board:

Mario Kart Results

1st Place – Fort Scott Varsity
3rd Place – Fort Scott JV

Super Smash Bros. Results

2nd Place – Fort Scott Varsity
4th Place – Fort Scott JV

The highlight of the night came in Super Smash Bros., where our Varsity team battled Girard in an intense, hard-fought match that went the full distance. Although the Tigers came up just short with a 3–2 loss, the match showcased incredible teamwork, resilience, and competitive spirit.

Current KSHSAA Season Records (one week remaining in the regular season)

Mario Kart Varsity: 3–2
Mario Kart JV: 2–3
Smash Bros Varsity: 2–3
Smash Bros JV: 1–4

We are incredibly thankful for everyone who showed up and supported our teams—your energy and encouragement helped make the night truly special. A special shoutout to our IT Department for their outstanding support and help in navigating technical difficulties throughout the event. Their behind-the-scenes work was critical to the success of the invitational.

Overall, it was an exciting night filled with competition, growth, and Tiger pride. We are extremely proud of our players for representing Fort Scott with class and determination, and we look forward to building on this momentum as the season continues.

Thank you for supporting Tiger Esports!
