On Tuesday, the Marion Giants defeated the founders of Indiana high school e-sports, the Tipton Blue Devils Tuesday, in the Afena Federal Credit Union Giants E-Sports Arena.
In a legendary match of Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, Tipton succumbed to the Giants’ fury shortly after the first match. The Marion Giants won both the singles and doubles matches with a final score of 19-0, remaining undefeated for the season.
The GIants take on the Madison-Grant Argylls on Oct. 27.

The Marion High School JROTC Raider Team traveled last Saturday, Oct. 10, to Hobart to compete in a regional competition hosted by last year’s All-Army Raider National Champions. The Hobart Brickies have been the Giants’ principal competitor for several years at both state and national championships.
With the Giants still feeling the sting from being edged out of both the Indiana and national Championship titles by 1 second in both cases last year, the Giants were looking for vengeance, and they brought it, toppling the Brickies and coming home victorious.
On Thursday, Oct. 15, the Marion High School JROTC Giant Battalion will face physical and mental challenges at Marion’s Matter Park.
Nearly 70 cadets are expected to participate in field day events hosted by representatives from the Marion Police Department, Ball State University ROTC, Indiana Wesleyan University, Purdue Fort Wayne University, along with recruiters from the U.S. Army, Indiana National Guard, Air Force and Navy will host a series of competitive events for JROTC cadets to complete.
The all-day event will certainly be a challenge for all of the cadets.
There will be a section of Ivy Tech COMM 101 (speech class) that will be online, starting on Oct. 26 and running through Dec. 10.
