In the bustling halls of Corry Area High School, a quiet revolution is brewing. At the heart of it all stands three men, and one of them is Mr. Gibson, a passionate esports advisor who has transformed the school’s gaming scene from a fledgling dream of the students to a reality.

Mr. Gibson’s journey with esports began with a simple love for video games. His passion for titles like “Rocket League” and “Call of Duty” wasn’t just about the thrill of competition; it was about the camaraderie, the teamwork, the shared joy of triumph and the valuable lessons learned from defeat. He saw these same values reflected in the students he interacted with, and he knew he had to find a way to nurture their passion.

Thus began Mr. Gibson’s tireless mission to establish some ground for this newly sprouting program at Corry Area High School. He faced numerous challenges, from shipping delays to acquiring equipment and building a supportive infrastructure. Yet, his unwavering dedication and infectious enthusiasm proved to be his greatest assets. And although not being there during the very start of the club, his help was greatly needed at the time of him joining the team of advisors.

Over the past three months, Mr. Gibson has poured his heart and soul into the program. He along with the officers of the program has meticulously sorted and organized equipment, built a robust infrastructure, and overseen the setup of gaming stations, while keeping them updated and easy to set up. His approachable demeanor and genuine interest in the students have made him a beloved figure among the young gamers. He is a mentor, a coach, and a friend, always ready with a word of encouragement.

But Mr. Gibson’s impact extends far beyond the physical equipment he provides. He has cultivated a vibrant esports community within the school, fostering a sense of belonging during his lunch bunch program, offering students to come down during lunch and play some Smash Bros. once in a while!

As Mr. Gibson continues his work, one can only imagine the heights that the esports program will reach. With his dedication, passion, and unwavering belief in the potential of his students, the future of esports at Corry Area High School is bright, vibrant, and filled with the exhilarating sounds of victory.
