@playvs @scbpubschools Second, the Division 1 state championship had NOTHING to do with @playvs and had EVERYTHING to do with the @NSeSA_esports . Don't keep taking credit for something you had nothing to do with. Your efforts to expand esports for students in our state have failed miserably.

🏆 Congratulations to Chris Brening of @scbpubschools, who was recently recognized by KNEB 960 AM after being named the 2026 PlayVS Community Trailblazer Award winner. From growing a 9-title esports program to creating new opportunities for students across the region, Chris continues to make a lasting impact through scholastic esports. 📖 Read more: plyvs.com/3SB2RDv
