Q3 eSport: Super Smash Bros 2026

In Q3, our very own Student Council leveled up campus rivalry by hosting an epic Super Smash Bros Esports Tournament. The Arcade Room was absolutely electric, packed with roaring spectators and illuminated by flashing disco lights that set the perfect stage for some intense, high-stakes gaming. Representing their respective teams, players stepped up to go head-to-head in fierce four-player qualifiers. The bracket quickly narrowed down to a thrilling final showdown between Carter Jasper and Gavin Wilcox. After a nail-biting match filled with tactical plays and lively crowd reactions, Gavin Wilcox from Team Laulima secured the final knockout to take first place, earning his team a massive 250 spirit points. This event was a historic hit for the gaming community right here at Highlands Intermediate! — Mikayla Mathis, Dance Committee
