TUESDAY RECAP
SUPPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE
We had two Middle School Super Smash Bros Ultimate competitors win and move into the Elite Eight of the NSESA Middle School State Tournament played all online for the middle school.
#3 ranked Liam Sutton had a slow start and got down 0-2 to the #19 player from David City. Sutton bounced back and reverse swept his opponent to win 3-2.
#5 Noah Jacobs dominated his opponent, the #12 ranked player from Platteview.
Thursday, Jacobs will play at 4:15 PM against the #13 ranked player from Platteview who upset the #4 player on Tuesday, and Sutton will play the #6 ranked player from Hemingford on Thursday at 5:30 PM. You can watch both of those matches on the FCT ESports Twitch Channel.
Also on Thursday, #7 Deacon Jacobs will play #38 Hemingford Kaiden at 4:15 PM for an opportunity to compete at the state tournament. This match will be streamed on our Twitch Channel.
MARVEL RIVALS
#5 Thayer Central won 2-1 over our #4 ranked FCT Marvel Rivals last night, which sends Thayer to the state tournament. The team battled and took Game 3 to the wire. Coach Syslo and Coach Huppert are very proud of these young men for the time they have put in this season and last spring, and their energy and attitudes they have brought. Watching their excitement after bouncing back from their Game 1 loss and winning Game 2 was one of the proudest moments for me personally as a coach over the last twenty years of coaching various activities. Then, to hear the way they spoke to each other after their defeat and missing an opportunity to compete at state...that was incredible. These young men have grown a lot through their teamwork and dedication. We want to give a shout out to their team captain, Deacon Jacobs, who has been exactly what a team wants their captain and leader to be. We want to thank all nine varsity team members that are listed below for everything they have done this season and the work they are already talking about putting in to accomplish their goal next season, including competing this Spring in the PlayVS regional competitions which will pit them against some top level opponents from much larger schools across the country. Last, I want to give a shout out to Coach Syslo who has helped these young men understand the game and it's strategies to compete better, and helped them elevate their game to the another level.

FCT ESports is State Bound!
For the fourth season in a row, the Falls City Tigers Esports Program has qualified for the NSESA State Tournament.
Falls City High School sophomore Deacon Jacobs is headed to the Nebraska Schools Esports Associations 2025 Fall State Tournament. Jacobs, ranked 7th in Division 3 Super Smash Bros Ultimate out of over one hundred and fifty competitors, qualified for the NSESA State Tournament last Thursday after defeating the #38 ranked player from Hemingford, NE. Division 3 Smash Bros Ultimate starts at 9 AM Friday, November 21 at Milford University in Fremont. The matches can be viewed through the NSESA and Milford ESports Twitch channels.
According to Coach Kory Huppert, “Deacon has been putting in the work in the Smash Bros Ultimate lab on the game to improve his skills, and it has paid off. Between that and working with Coach Syslo, who knows the game well, Jacobs and his FCT SSBU teammates have made a lot of progress this season.”
Two other FCT SSBU competitors made it to the second round and were one win shy of qualifying but lost this week in tough matches. Sophomores Carter Rumbaugh, ranked 48th, and Camden Jean ranked 20th. Two others, sophomores Burke Wissman and Asher Kuker qualified for the Division 3 playoffs which took the top 64.
In the NSESA Middle School Division, Falls City Middle School eighth graders Noah Jacobs, ranked 5th, and Liam Sutton, ranked 3rd, won their Elite Eight matches sending them to the Final Four of the NSESA Middle School Super Smash Bros Ultimate State Tournament. That tournament is played all online. The final four will take place this week. Luckily, they are on opposite sides of the bracket and would not face each other until the championship. Jacobs and Sutton placed at state last year in the middle school division as partners in the SSBU Duo Division.
The #4 FCT Marvel Rivals team lost 2-1 in a great contest last Tuesday evening against #5 Thayer Central that came down to the wire. With a win, the team would have qualified for state. “It was very exciting and even better to get to see how much that team has improved over the last year by competing last offseason (Spring) in a very tough esports league outside of the NSESA against schools with high schools of 1000+ kids,” Coach Huppert commented. “Listening to them talk to each other afterwards and support their team captain (Deacon Jacobs), who really pushed these guys to be better this season was one of the top five proudest moments of my career in coaching anything. Truthfully, listening to them talk to each other afterwards was why we coach. It was incredible,” Coach Huppert said.
The program has some additional teams still competing in PlayVS regional competitions with those playoffs set to start this week. The FCT League of Legends team is ranked in the Top 10 of the Pacific Region and the FCT OW2 team is ranked in the Top 25 of the Central Region. Both of those teams are competing mostly against schools Class A size and bigger. Some with over 1500 students in their high school. “Our goal has been raise the bar in competitive play for our players to better prepare them for state play,” Coach Nathaniel Syslo mentioned.
