On May 1, Addison Trail hosted a State send-off celebration for senior Reece Smith, who competed in the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) esports State Tournament.
That event took place on May 2 at Evergreen Park Community High School, and Smith competed in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Smith went undefeated during the Dekalb Sectionals to qualify for the state competition.
During the State send-off, Smith was greeted and honored by staff members and his peers during a parade, as he marched through the hallways of the school behind the Addison Trail Drum Line. To watch the celebration, click on the video above.
