Esports Will Pay Off After LHS

Posted Date: 11/28/2023

LHS Esports students visited the Lubbock Christian University esports facility! Esports teacher April Austin says that her students learned from Brandon Hackett, Director of LCU Esports. He informed them about the programs offered at LCU. We were given a tour of the practice and in-game facilities. They also experienced the shoutcasting room. This was a great opportunity for Mrs. Austin's new shoutcasting team, who are now live broadcasting their Esports games to their new Twitch and YouTube channels: @levellandesports. Mr. Hackett taught students about the games available and the minimum ranking required to be eligible for a scholarship to play for LCU. Students learned that they may also be granted a full scholarship to play for their institution based on their ranking in the game. This was a great lesson on what they can do after high school with the skills learned in this LHS class!
