Esports Qualifies For State
The ADM Fall Esports program continues its rapid growth and competitive success, with the ADM Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (SSBU) team officially qualifying for the 2025 IAHSEA Fall State Tournament. The Tigers capped an outstanding regular season with a 6-1 record, finishing 2nd in the Class 3 West Division behind Waukee Northwest and earning the 4th overall seed in the State bracket.
This fall marked a major step forward for the program, with 25 players participating—nearly doubling last year's roster of 13 competitors. Strong leadership helped anchor this year's success, with Team Captain Miller Banse and Smash Bros. Game Captain Darragh McHugh guiding the team both in competition and preparation.
ADM will face Iowa City West in the opening round of the State Tournament.
