The Strathmore High School Spartans esports team had some standout performances at the Alberta Esports Championship earlier this month.
The tournament took place at Bow Valley College from May 10 to 11 and featured junior high and high school students from across the province playing Rocket League, Valorant, and Super Smash Bros.
According to Strathmore High, JuanJose Gonzales placed thirteenth, and Jordan MacDonald finished seventeenth out of more than 120 competitors in Super Smash Bros.
In the same game, MacDonald teamed up with Dominick Brenner in doubles, securing a fifth-place finish.

Brothers Evan and Ian Toews played alongside Amari Hudson and Nikolas Harris in Rocket League, taking home silver in their division.
"Big thanks to all our SHS competitors for showing skill, sportsmanship, and Spartan pride," wrote Strathmore High on its social media page.
Over a dozen local students were in the city to participate in the competition.
