The Westfall eSports Fall Season wrapped up this past week with exciting results!
Our Marvel Rivals team took second place overall in the state! As the newest game offered at Westfall, Marvel Rivals drew a lot of interest this season. Team Captain Jake Lindsey and Brenner Burke led the team in eliminations and proved to be strong leaders throughout the competition.
The Fortnite team also had an outstanding season, going undefeated and setting their sights on another run to the state finals. The team has competed in the OHSAA State Finals for the past four years and is expanding for the Winter Season as they continue to push for the top spot.
Congratulations!!

Last week, senior Lily Danielsson represented our district at the Hope in Ohio – Paint Valley Community Conversation, hosted by ADAMH and the Pickaway Addiction Action Coalition (PAAC), at the Adena Paccor Education Center.
The event focused on mental health awareness and featured students from area schools sharing why they chose to be involved in this important cause. Lily joined Logan Elm’s Madeline Barnes in speaking to attendees, alongside guest speaker and Interim Director Tia Marcel Moretti.
We are so proud of Lily for representing Westfall with such leadership and thoughtfulness.
