BY ROBIN MILLER The (Baton Rouge, La.) Advocate BATON ROUGE, La. — There’s a new team in town, but you won’t find it on the football field, basketball court or baseball diamond. The Southern Lab School High School Esports team huddles in the school’s com- puter room to play video games, taking on some 2,100 teams nationwide, all vying for $30,000 in scholarships. Competitors include some local schools — McKinley High, University High, Lee Magnet High, Woodlawn High, Denham Springs High and St. Amant High. All are part of the High School Esports League at highschoolesportsleague.com, which began its fall season Sept. 30. Southern Lab team members Cornelius Pointer and Robert Adams, both 17-year- old seniors, are already winners in the first round. “We’ve definitely gotten off to a good start,” said team sponsor Christopher Turner, the school’s art teacher. “We know the competition is tough, but we’re going to play for the $30,000 in scholarships.” The team uses the school’s equipment, although they’re conducting a fundraiser to buy gaming computers, consoles and computer tables and chairs. They also can compete from home, something they would probably be doing anyway. But now they’re playing toward a goal.

DAYTON — A plane OH crash turned into a traffic crash when a small air- craft having engine trouble made an emergency landing on an Ohio roadway and rear-ended a car near an intersection. The two pilots aboard the plane and the driver in the BMW they hit weren’t seriously hurt in the Thursday afternoon crash. It hap- pened a couple of miles from an airport just south of Dayton. State Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Kramer said the 1979 Piper fixed-wing, single-engine plane had trouble as it was returning to the Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport. The pilot then aimed to land in a cornfield but worried about avoiding some power lines, so she switched plans to try for the roadway. Steer charms town, is saved from slaughter
