Ryder Huddleston and Jace Wilhite represented Riverdale in the first MSAIS E-Sports Tournament featuring Fortnite’s creative mode. The tournament was a 1 vs 1 single elimination with games being played in the best 2 out of 3 style. The competition was broadcast live on the MSAIS Twitch account.

Ryder won his first game and made it to the second round of play before being eliminated. Jace made it to the semi-final game against Layton Bays of Claiborne where he fell short of a win.  Bays became the 2A champion.

All the competitors played great games! They are excited about future e-sports events hosted by MSAIS.

Spring sports in all schools have been cancelled by the Governor’s Executive Order closing public schools due to the COVID-19 virus.  So students and educators are working up new and creative ways to engage students in online competition.

The MAIS, of which Riverdale is a member has not cancelled all of its spring sports.  A notice put out last week by MAIS said they hoped that some sports could be resumed at a later date.
