TCHS Esports Off To A Roaring Start
Courtesy of TCHS
The Toombs County
High School Bulldogs Es
ports teams are making
waves in the Fall 2023
Regular Season with an
impressive start. With
two weeks of competi
tion down, all of the Bull
dog teams are showing
their mettle and resil
ience as they face tough
opponents in the esports
arena.
In the first week of
action, the varsity Spla-
toon 3 team faced off
against the perennial
powerhouse, Northview,
a team that has claimed
three out of the last four
state championships. Al
though the Bulldogs
couldn’t secure a victory
in the opening week, they
displayed remarkable
teamwork. They returned
with a vengeance in the
second week, sweeping
the North Murray Moun
taineers in a thrilling 3-0
victory.
The Bulldogs’ tri
umph in the second week
was nothing short of
spectacular, and they
were led by the outstand
ing performances of their
star players. Christian
Castro dominated in the
first round with an im
pressive 8 Splats and 1
special. Jack Williams
stepped up in round 2,
leading the charge with
12 Splats and two spe
cials. The final round was
a knockout victory in
Splat Zones, with Jack
Williams once again steal
ing the show with 9 Splats
and 3 specials.
Meanwhile, the var
sity Bulldogs Mario Kart
8 Deluxe team is enjoying
an undefeated start to the
regular season. Their
journey began with an
impressive 2-0 victory
over class AAAAAAA
Richmond Hill. In week
two, they continued their
winning streak with an
other dominant 2-0 win
over West Laurens. This
strong start has put them
in a tie for first place in
the state, and they are ea
ger to maintain their win
ning momentum
throughout the season.
The success isn’t lim
ited to the varsity teams
alone. The Bulldog JV
teams have also shown
promise, with the Spla-
toon 3 team bouncing
back from a first-week
loss to Atlanta-area pow
erhouse Mill Creek by se
curing a resounding 3-0
win against Rome High
School in week two. The
JV Mario Kart team,
much like their varsity
counterparts, remains un
defeated, with victories
over Holy Innocents and
the formidable Class
AAAAAAA power, Wal
ton.
The teams will be
back in action this Tues
day, following a well-de
served off-week. Fans and
enthusiasts can catch all
the electrifying action by
watching the Bulldog’s
matches live on the offi
cial team Twitch channel
