The E-sports team is the more competitive aspect of the E-gaming Club. This part of the club is where Alliance High School will fight other schools in Super Smash Bros and any other competitive games. The ones they will be playing this year are Overwatch 2, Rocket League, Super Smash Bros, League of Legends, and Fortnite. If needed you can ask Mrs. Gustafson for a form to join the E-sports team. This team would consist of Mason Trumble, Mandie Ylander, Shelton Ward, and Caitlynn Katen. Team 1 and team 2 played on September 19, 2023 both teams won their matches against Gross Catholic. In the second match against Concordia this match, both teams and schools were in an unbroken tie and later in the week competed in the first annual Scottsbluff tournament.
This winter season they want to get their 5 PC’s up and running so they can compete in more categories of games. They would also like to extend their reach to overwatch 2 and then head into a game called Valorant both these games require them to have 5 players on each team. The E-sports coach has gotten one of the PC’s to work but the others are still in non-working condition. In the club the team may or may not have to play on switches once again to compete in the Overwatch 2 league.

Shelton Ward is a 17-year-old senior at Alliance High School. He was born on September 2, 2005 in Lincoln, Nebraska. He lived in Valentine, NE for 12 years before moving to Alliance five years ago. Shelton has worked at Runza for the last year with some of his friends, but plans on becoming a medic in the U.S Marine Corps because he wants to be able to save lives. Another reason is his older brother Shawn who was in the military; he was a machine-gunner on a Humvee in Iraq. Shawn is also his inspiration.
His favorite subject is history because of the breakthroughs made in science and the bravery of men which proves his love for helping others. More proof of his love for helping others is his favorite movie, Hacksaw Ridge. He likes it specifically because of the use of medical skills. Shelton is also a teacher-aid for Mrs. Harris because she teaches technological classes. Shelton loves technology and this is shown especially by his involvement in the Esports team here at AHS. Some random facts about Shelton are that his favorite food is Mexican because of the variety you get in it. His favorite music genre is country because of the abundant amount of it here.
