Please feel free to share any alumni photos or updates with us as we celebrate being Pentwater Falcons!
Pentwater Esports week 2 and 3 update: the last two weeks have had several scheduling changes, requiring flexibility. I am proud of how we have adapted to all the changes.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate week 2 found us up against Calumet High School, whom we had already played in pre-season. Unfortunately, they were unable to field a team, so we won by default. In week 3, we competed against Central Montcalm Middle-High School, winning by 6 points each time. Our team in week 3 was also a little different as Rodney could not make it, so the team was Alden Grondsma, Xach Davis, and Meya Case. Next week, we are scheduled to face the Essexville-Hampton schools, hoping our momentum continues.
Looking forward to what Rodney Grondsma, Alden Grondsma, and Xach Davis can do against this next opponent.
Rocket League, as the new to our teaas been off to a bit of a rocky start. In week 2, we were scheduled to play Grand Rapids West Catholic; however, they asked to reschedule to today, 10/16, due to scheduling conflicts among their players. Unfortunately, they were unable to make it again, so we got a forfeit win. Our week 3 game was against St. Joseph High School, and they had a player who dominated the match. We did lose to them, but we learned a lot in that match.
Looking forward to week 4 against Portage Central High School and seeing what Michael Smith, Aiden Henry, and Anthony Acosta can accomplish.
In Mario Kart week 2, we played against Romeo High School, Lake Shore High School, and East Kentwood High School. Pentwater racers were Jane Howard and Alden Grondsma. The other three teams were very competitive, and we found ourselves fighting for every position to increase our points. We ended up coming in third overall after all three games, even with a tie for second place in the final set of four races. Week 3 for Mario Kart was another first: we won with Jane Howard and Bailey Case taking first or second place in each race, beating the team from Pewamo-Westphalia High School. Unfortunately, it was only a three-team matchup, and the other team from Northwest High School did not field a team. As for our week 4 competitors, I don't know who they will be. There are currently 21 other teams in this game title.
As we move toward week 4, which marks the halfway point of the season if you count the playoffs, I am proud of how all the teams are doing this season, even if we aren't winning every competition. The laughter and sportsmanship during practice and competition make me happy to be their coach.

Pentwater Esports' Mario Kart team had its first match of the regular season today. Bailey Case and Jane Howard returned to the competitive arena today and claimed victory over two other teams. This week, they only raced against 2 other teams instead of 3. Today, their competitors are Romeo High School and Garber High School. Mario Kart is a series of 3 games, each consisting of 4 races.
In the first set of four races, we were the clear leader, placing many points ahead of the other teams. The second set was a different story. The difference between first and second place was one point; we came out on top! The third set of races was intense, especially the final race, when Bailey got hit with every item that could slow her down. She finished 5th out of 6th in this race, after having placed 1st six times in the 11 prior races. Unfortunately, we fell to second place by four points.
Overall, I am very proud of our initial showing this season.
I am looking forward to what they do in future weeks.

Pentwater Esports is back in action for the fall. Three different titles compete on three different nights. First up on Tuesday is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This year's team got off to a strong start. Rodney Grondsma, Alden Grondsma, and Xach Davis won both rounds against Hougton High School. Jojo Mannor is starting as a huge help this season in her role as manager. She is keeping track of scores for both Super Smash and Mario Kart.
I am looking forward to another exciting season as we compete in our 4th year with MiHSEF (Michigan High School Esports Federation).
