Hatchets earn two victories, hold virtual talk with NTC head coach

 

For the Tomahawk Leader

TOMAHAWK – The Tomahawk Hatchet eSports team kicked off its first regular season with two victories last week. The squad also had the opportunity to have a virtual discussion with Northcentral Technical College (NTC)’s eSports head coach.

On Wednesday, March 3, the Smite team of Zach Suchomel, Tim Herman, Jacob Anderson, Gavin Myre and Wyatt Leasure took on Shullsburg BSMS and emerged victorious in 24 minutes and 34 seconds.

Coach Paula Norman explained that placements at the State tournament are determined by win-loss records, followed by game length, with shorter games being preferred over longer games.

“Every week the team is showing much improvement,” Norman stated.

The Rocket team of Drew Albert, Nathanael Graeber, and Jaxson Werner took on Stratford on Thursday, March 4, and also earned a win.

The Hatchets took Game One of the best-of-five series with a score of 6 to 3, and followed it up with an 8 to 3 win in Game Two.

“Jaxson was unstoppable in Game Two, as he scored six of the eight Hatchet goals,” Norman said.

Stratford responded in Game Three by coming out of the gates aggressively to win 8 to 4. However, the Hatchets redeemed themselves with a 3 to 1 win in Game Four.

Jaxson Werner led the Hatchets with 16 goals, one assist and three saves. Drew Albert had four goals, four assists and two saves. Nathanael Graeber rounded out the scoring with one goal and five assists.

“(It was) a great week with two Hatchet eSports victories!” Norman stated.
