Columbia high school is in final four for Esports state championship

Hickman High School’s Esports team is participating in the Missouri Esports state championship series Saturday afternoon at Columbia’s Stephens College.

It is the final four in Missouri high school Esports, and Hickman’s eight players are participating. Hickman and players from Christian Brothers Academy, Blue Springs and Hannibal are square off in a game called “overwatch,” which is a team-based video game where teams compete to capture points and secure objectives.

Hickman’s players have gone through an eight-week season that began with 38 schools. Only the final four are left.

Saturday’s event is from 10 am until 5:30 pm at Stephens’ Kimball ballroom.
