Spring 2026 eSports Season
The Hay Springs eSports Team wrapped up an excellent Spring season on Friday, April 17 at the State eSports Championships held at Doane University in Crete, NE. Five players made the long trip, but brought back a lot of hardware for their efforts.
Our Fortnite team(Arian Mata, Cade McKillip, Kooper Scott, and Tanner Tobiasson) played their competition remotely(all teams played online from their own schools) on March 28 and fought hard to secure a State Runner-Up title for Division 4 Fortnite Battle Royale. They were narrowly beat out by EMF(Exeter-Milligan-Friend) who seemed to have luck on their side. The group who went to Crete were very happy to bring back the medals and trophy for the Fortnite players!
As for the teams who played in person at the Championships, our Hearthstone team(Ileana Reimann) brought home a 3rd place medal for Division 4 Hearthstone on her first trip to state competition. The competition was pretty fierce from her opponents, but she never gave up.
Our Mario Kart 8 team(Tanner Tobiasson, Larry Nelson, Cooper Krotz, and Dutch Weaver(who was subbing in for Jacob Dorshorst)), raced hard and just squeaked ahead of Eustis-Farnam to bring home the trophy for Division 4 State Champion Mario Kart 8! The team was ranked number one throughout the regular season and secured the number 1 seed going into the playoffs. A quick victory over Elgin set them up for the championship game against Eustis-Farnam.
Great job and congratulations to all of our players for a fun and exciting season! Be sure to congratulate them and ask them about their games the next time you see them.
State FBLA
Hay Springs High School students represented the school with pride and professionalism at the 2026 Nebraska FBLA State Leadership Conference held in Kearney last week. The conference brought together students from across the state to compete, network, and develop leadership skills.
Jacob Dorshorst earned outstanding recognition in two competitive events, placing 3rd in Intro to Business Communications and 2nd in Intro to Business Procedures. These events test the student’s understanding of workplace communication, business terminology, office skills, and professional practices. These placings earned Jacob a slot at Nationals.
In addition to competing, Jacob also served as a Student Backstage Manager for the State Leadership Conference. The Student Backstage Manager assists in the creation and production of the Nebraska FBLA State Leadership Conference general sessions. Students in this role help coordinate facilities and vendors and may be on a headset to manage backstage operations during live productions and the Awards of Excellence Programs. This position requires professionalism, communication skills, and the ability to work under pressure — qualities this student demonstrated throughout the conference.
Easton Mintken also attended the conference, participating in workshops, leadership activities, and competitive events. Their involvement demonstrates a commitment to growing as future business leaders and contributing to the continued success of the Hay Springs FBLA chapter.

Pre-Contest Concert
In an attempt to make our Pre-Contest Concert, on Tuesday, April 21st at 7pm, a reasonable amount of time we are going to be hosting 3 smaller recitals during the school day. Students will be performing their solo or small group in the music room during their assigned performance time on their assigned performance day. These performances are open to the public, you will need to simply check in (and out when you’re leaving) at the front office prior to coming to the music room. I will also attempt to record these performances and send them to parents so they can see what their students have been working on. Here is an attached schedule with dates, times and students.
