CoderZ Team Places Second at State

Posted Date: 01/07/2022

Congratulations to Celinda Rejino's LMS 806 LoboZ-LoboetteZ CoderZ team! They competed at the State Basket Bot CoderZ League Tournament on January 6th and earned Second Place! Our CoderZ students faced 3 teams from Texas Serenity Academy out of Houston, Texas, and 1 team from Douglas Elementary out of Tyler, Texas. LMS knocked them out of the playoffs competition by scoring the highest baskets in each single-elimination match. For the finals, they faced Central Junior High School out of Euless, Texas but lost that match and placed 2nd for State. LMS advanced to the top 32 because of Zaden Esparza’s code on Basket Bot against an AI during group stages with a score of 660. Zoey Zuniga and Giovanni Presley scored the second highest with a score of 610 for Basket Bot. Also, Giovanni Presley and Christian Chagoya were LMS top points collectors with over 2,000 points each in preliminaries. The rest of the CoderZ team members helped during preliminaries with point collecting to allow LMS to be one of the top 64 teams in the state to advance. Also, all team members worked together to submit a code before Christmas break for State playoffs. Christian Chagoya was selected as team captain to submit and finalize the code. We are so proud of this huge accomplishment and the knowledge it takes to get there! You're in the right place!
