Holiday tournaments are in full swing, and we updated the brackets and then caught up with Springfield Public School Director of Athletics Josh Scott. He has been involved at the national level of athletic directing and we talk about that along with running premier tournaments.

We then had the pleasure of being educated! Nebraska State Champion and top 1% ranked eSports player Allie Burnett joined us as we explored why eSports is the fastest growing sport in the country and world. She educated us on the attraction and addiction of eSports and why viewers cannot get enough! My thanks to Logan Weber, our producer for the night, as he chimed in on the power of gaming and its therapeutic abilities. Allie’s specialty is Overwatch and she is the only female on her team and captain as a sophomore! She is a shot-caller, again, she educated us! You don’t want to miss this! She paralleled the fundamentals and strategies of gaming to other sports and sold us on eSports and the benefits of gaming.

Next week - We kick off a two-part series on the weirdest mascots in America – Kelli Cheek and Jill Widel join us next week and Ryan Schaffitzel the week after – HAPPY NEW YEAR!
